If you missed part 1 or part 2 you may want to check those first. On Thursday we had a more relaxed day and less driving time. I was feeling quite exhausted and my sinus issue and cough are still hanging around from when I had Covid. In our unofficial quest to tick off as… Continue reading Western Isles Holiday – Isle of Lewis – part 3 inc a return to the Isle of Harris and visit to Great Bernera

Western Isles Holiday – Isle of Lewis – part 2 incl Isle of Harris
Following on from yesterday’s part 1 post… On Tuesday we headed down to the Isle of Harris. Now it’s a little confusing because Lewis and Harris are on the same island. To me it looks like the flatter, peat bog area has been called Lewis and the mountains and miles of huge boulders has been… Continue reading Western Isles Holiday – Isle of Lewis – part 2 incl Isle of Harris
Western Isles Holiday – Isle of Lewis – part 1
Way back in April 2019 we found a holiday cottage on the Isle of Lewis that looked to be in a gorgeous location but it was fully booked for that year so we booked for March 2020. Little did we know a global pandemic would have us move the holiday so many times. Finally last… Continue reading Western Isles Holiday – Isle of Lewis – part 1
Loch Fyne Holiday
Before I get started on our holiday I wanted to talk about how Scotland is divided up into areas. The area I live in is the Highlands, but within that I also live in an area called Ross-shire and within that a town. The area we visited is called “Argyll and Bute”. Now Bute is… Continue reading Loch Fyne Holiday

The Kyle of Tongue…déjà vu
So if you were following me last year, this post may have a ring of déjà vu about it, as I posted some pictures last June, but I have a lot of new followers and more photos to share. 😀 I consider myself to be well travelled and have lazed on the beaches on Maui,… Continue reading The Kyle of Tongue…déjà vu
Kyle of Tongue – North Coast of Scotland
My husband and I had planned to do a long weekend camping at Durness, but with the weather forecast being heavy rain all weekend we looked for an alternative option. He managed to find this lovely wee Shepherd’s Hut that was available for the 3 nights we were after. We now know it is available… Continue reading Kyle of Tongue – North Coast of Scotland

How craft making and Scotland rescued me
Life before… My life was consumed with working hard and long hours to earn money for a few weeks a year of international travel. We went to many fabulous and breathtaking places around the world including Hawaii, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Australia, various US states and parts of Italy. I also travelled to… Continue reading How craft making and Scotland rescued me
