Traveling, writing and this thing called life to bring joy to my heart and yours
Balvenie Castle Near enough for a day drive from Aberdeen. I did make it to my B&B and it was a wonderful sleep and delicious breakfast. Off I went, after Dave parked my car for me the night before… I tell you after this trip, I am so much more confident driving on the left …
Dunnottar Castle was incredible. I have to say, incredible! Read a little on the history. https://www.dunnottarcastle.co.uk/ https://www.dunnottarcastle.co.uk/2018/03/17/origins-of-dunnottar-castle/ I drove there from Ryton, near Newcastle Upon Tyne. It was a long drive, but it was nice. I was able to hone my skills on the “stick shift” car on the left side of the road with a …
This post will be my personal opinion of Sat Nav vs. Google Maps. Please note that I have only used Google Maps in the United States and in Scotland and a part of England, therefore when I go to Italy and try this out, I hope it is the same great results! This is not …

The Fringe! What the heck is the Fringe? Edinburgh Festival is going on right now in the month of August and I walked right smack into it! Dragging two bags and a large shoulder bag, I should have listened to my own tips and hints and not packed so much!!!! At any rate, after leaving …
St. Andrews. Apparently Prince William attended University here and met Kate Middleton! I wonder if they hung out where I was staying. I stayed at the Agnes Blackadder Hall. There were all sorts of different groups there!. Our group was mostly there, the Stewart Society. There were little golfers, big golfers and students. I am …
03/08/18 Not traditional American way of dating, but out of the US, it seems to be the norm. I thought I would try it. After Lindores we headed to Fife Folk Museum for a lovely tea and a look around the Museum. We had a lovely tour guide, Katie and driver.. for the life of …
What a great day! The Stewart Society is having their annual gathering and I am part of the festivities this year! Our first adventure was on Friday, the 3rd of August. We went to three places. This post is on the Lindores Abbey Distillery. We were on a tour bus, so it was awesome not …
