Retrospective
19 lipca 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Home is always a welcome place. I'm struck by how much space we have after the Byre and hotel rooms.
It has been a very successful holiday. While on Harris I think I was the most relaxed and unwound I've been for years. The weather helped but the scenery was beyond my expectations. The quiet, the light, the air and the unspoiled nature of the island made it special. Walking in south Harris on never ending white sandy beaches, the colourful Machair and the sunsets were pure joy.
I must also mention the culture of service which we encountered everywhere in Scotland. It was easily given, engaging and seemed unforced. It made simple encounters such a pleasure.
The island's history was largely blank before we arrived. We have found out so much and been stunned by the depth of continuous human occupation.
Would I go back? indeed I would! But I am acutely aware that had it rained instead of sunshine it would not have been such a success.
I've selected these images to encompass the joy of the holiday. Czytaj więcej

Leyburn for coffee
18 lipca 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A typical Yorkshire market town, wide streets with an open market Square and the mellow local stone.
It doesn't feel much like summer here today, 12degrees, overcast and a good breeze, but we are sitting outside for our coffee. We are after all on holiday!
Leyburn is the last bit of real holiday. Once on the A1m normality resumes. Czytaj więcej

The Punch Bowl
17 lipca 2023, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We have a very comfy room and I've had a snooze! Feel ready for an evening in the bar!
The dale is one of our favourites, the patchwork of fields bounded by dry stone walls with the stone barns. It's typical of the area.
We had a short walk, up hill, stretching out legs and expanding our lungs...... The views are good but, there are v grey clouds threatening.
Supper tonight: a veggie pasta for me and a steak pie for John.
This is such a laid back Inn, good food convivial atmosphere and great location. Our fourth visit, brings back good memories of family and friends. Czytaj więcej

Low Row
17 lipca 2023, Anglia ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
It's been a long day! Leaving in mizzle and very low cloud and ending in some shafts of sun along Swaledale.
We are staying at the Punch Bowl Inn, we have been here on several occasions, the first when we rented a cottage in the village over half term with Ellie and David and Jake and Rob came for a couple of nights. I suspect Rob was about six, ten years ago!
It's always been a comfortable stay, good food and lovely scenery.
We drove over from Kirby Stephen on a tiny road that takes you up hill and down dale along the Swale. It's a generally quiet road that showcases the moors and the river valley. This area has field barns in local stone in almost every field, they are typical of the area. Czytaj więcej

Glencoe south back to England
17 lipca 2023, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Re-entry to normality..... We have the longest drive of the holiday this morning. So, here I am dressed and packed having breakfast!
Going back a slightly different route via Callender and Stirling.
Our trusty coffee box has kept us in excellent espresso all holiday. Again hold ups, twelve minutes feels like an eternity when you are just sitting there!
Callender, coffee in Mohr's. Still there, first went there when we lived in Stirling.... still excellent coffee, great cakes and a real array of different breads. The shop interior is unchanged.... Czytaj więcej

Glencoe walk
16 lipca 2023, Szkocja ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Typical mountain weather to wake up to! We are definitely the old age policy of the Inn by some distance.
Signal really poor, waiting to download the local forecast before deciding where we will walk today.
There is a slight lull in the rain so off we go for a low level walk.
Did I say low level? Low level it was not! Very green walk around the local Forrest up to Signal Rock from where the British signaled to the Campbells to attack the McDonald's. The British having reneged on a deal.
Scenery inhibited by the low cloud on the hills. Czytaj więcej

Clachaig Inn
15 lipca 2023, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Our home for the next few days! After two hours in the queue following an accident needing the air ambulance good to make here.
We've had some stonkingly heavy rain, but it's very local. A mile down the road and it's perfectly dry!.
Saturday evening has live music in the Boot Room Bar.....
A veggie noodle supper as a real change of scene. V hot...... I'm going to drink a lot of beer! Report of live music can wait until tomorrow. Czytaj więcej

Loch Locky
15 lipca 2023, Szkocja ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
A traffic accident holds us up. Fifteen minutes so far it always feels so much longer while stuck in your car!
Mercifully we bought treats in Broadford which we have just consumed..... Helps pass the time.
2 hours later we are still in the queue!
Fifteen minutes or so later we were able to move off and continue our journey. We were entertained by children playing ball games in the road and a couple having a swim!! Czytaj więcej

Uig to Glencoe
15 lipca 2023, Szkocja ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
We had a quiet evening, we were both really tired. A perfectly cooked Venison steak and dauphinoise potatoes cheered us up!
The back of the car is now a total tip as items are thrown in at the last minute....... So easy in a week to forget where things were put when you arrived.
This morning the clouds are low over the hills and there is light rain.
The D
Cullins looked magnificent peeking out from the very grey skies. Czytaj więcej
