Traveling, writing and this thing called life to bring joy to my heart and yours
The old and the new Holyrood. A working palace, a palace of old and new, well mostly old but the current (new) monarchy use this Palace when in Scotland. It is truly a beautiful Palace. The history, like all the castles and palaces in Scotland, are simply incredible to me, either ruin or ones that …
I have been to Calton Hill. Went there at the end of April 2016 for the incredible Beltane Fire Festival ! It was so cold that night, but totally worth all the frozen toes, I really thought I was dressed warm, ha! the cold air from Scotland fooled the Southern California girl and it was at …
Breakfast Did I mention how wonderful our hosts were at Bunree? If not I will again. Una and Hamish were so nice and helpful and great cooks!!
