  • Gulls

    Some gull pictures from yesterday, taken at Burleigh Sands on the north shore of Loch Leven.

  • Netiquette

    It’s difficult when I am excited about going somewhere not to rave on about it here, since it’s fairly dumb to advertise when we will be away.  It all has a fairly retrospective feel to it.   So, I can’t tell you about our upcoming holiday which will be sometime this year,  somewhere in England, or…

  • See food, eat it

    Here is Paul on his birthday at the Dakota Hotel near South Queensferry, with his trencher of seafood.

  • Job done sun

    Yesterday was such a beautiful day, as late summer slides into early autumn.  Some of the rowan trees are already turning, starting at the top with that unbelievable salmon pink.  I find this time of year brings on a whole heap of mixed emotions, besides being the obvious harbinger of change and winter (oh please,…

  • York 2010

    Finally decided to go somewhere for our holidays, and the choice was York, since we can hop on a train at Inverkeithing and there is no need to change until we arrive at our destination.   So far, so trouble free, until we woke up on Monday and realised that we had left the tickets in…

  • Friday at last

    Just home from Elspeth’s, been looking at their pictures of the cruise on Discovery, along the Norwegian coast.  I want to go again!! Now we are going to plan our holidays.  Still many sleeps.

  • Discovering Norway

  • The soft Perthshire rain

    Currently up north for a mini holiday, as things have pretty been busy in Château Holmes of late.  I would not normally post when out of the house since it’s a bit of an invitation to anyone of our chums who may be a professional house breaker, but we’re testing the functionality. So, this is…

  • Up there from down here

    Practising updating from a remote location.  If this works,  then you will all be forced to admire my updates from a broad.  Yes, I am the doll. Do keep up.  Yankee doodle dandy.

  • Back from the Wedding

    Back home after an unbelievably wonderful weekend in Luxembourg, at Kerry & Ross’s wedding. The ceremony took place in the walled garden of Chateau Bourglinster, and the whole day was so very, very memorable.  The full story will be written up at the weekend, but suffice to say here that the combination of joy and…
