Happy Tuesday and Wordless Wednesday! January 10/11, 2023



Come have fun doing a Happy Tuesday Scottish Jig!!! 




While traveling in Scotland in the Fall of 2006
we visited friends outside of Inverness and
then one day they took us on a wonderful drive.
One of our stops was the Castle Varrich.
What a wonderful and happy experience!
Have a Happy Tuesday and a terrific Wordless Wednesday!

Cheers!

Day 8 September 21, 2016

Driving to Kinlochewe via Glen Docherty and then on to Gairloch, past the Isle of Ewe, Corrieshalloch Gorge
and back home again! 
 
Beginning our drive we first stopped at
Glen Docherty.....no straight roads here
ever winding through this lovely country....

 

 
Looking to the left of Glen Docherty one lone tree... 
 
One last photo...

 
We stopped at a cemetery in Gairloch

 
 
 

 
And walked down to the beach...
 
 
 
 
Toni drove while we enjoyed the vistas...
 

 

 Scotland is a stunningly beautiful country
 

 
 

 

 

 
 
Last stop before heading home was



 
Here's the three of us!

 
The suspension bridge...

 
 

 

 While Toni and Andrew enjoyed
a restful visit, we prepared dinner!
 
 
 
A Caprese salad complete with all home grown
veggies and Nasturtium blossoms!
It went well with our Garlic Spagetti and crunchy baguette.

Day 7 A Little Side Trip to Inverness September 20, 2016

Before getting on the train to Inverness
I had to check the poly tunnel to make sure
I did not need to buy tomatoes!
Nope- lots of glorious tomatoes for tomorrow's dinner!  
 
 
 Beautiful apples on the side of the barn... 
 
 
The neighbors sheep who are pastured on
our friends property.


 
Here comes our 20 minute ride to Inverness! 


 
 
 
We wandered around and then found a nice little
pub for a pint before catching up with Toni!

 
On our car ride back home we had to stop for
these black sheep photo ops!


 
Morgie kept watch over the house while sleeping...
 
 
The fish monger dropped by also!
Lovely fish! Tomorrow's dinner...yum!
