Holidays

I also thought that she meant she was the bride

 

I'm the one with the bridal gear on, ivory was the colour, I'm told .... the 2 ladies in blue/lilac are my best friends from school, and bridesmaids . I'll tell M-I-l - it'll make her day!

 

I'm the bride....

 

ok....Hi !!

 

3rd day in Scotland. Fringe in full swing. Went to tattoo last night. Botanical gardens today. At Guildford arms now with beer. Love listening to the chatter of the languages and accents. Lots of pics anyone on my Facebook can follow later

 

Does "driving" mean you'll be driving yourself? If so, you're braver than I am!

 

Phew, that's a relief!

 

Got back late Sunday. Monday dragging all day. Time change, 10 hour flight etc. Today Tuesday feel better, went to bed at 7PM got up at 5AM. Good thing I planned two days off work. Met up with @@Irmemac and her husband in Glasgow, although it was a brief period, it was the wonderful. So enjoyed meeting them. And I can still remember how to say Thank you in Gaelic. Have 900 pix . of the traveling around the coastline. Such magnificent beauty. The Highlands, Skye, Ring of Brodgar (and I kissed one, hugged one, patted one---but still here). Maybe it should have been during the eclipse. Oh, well missed that just by a day. Love the people of Scotland, so precious, and gracious. I did well with the buses in Edinburgh, had the hotel pile pound 1.60 for me, so I'd have a group in each jean pocket, and off I went. Glasgow reminds me a lot of Philly, the same industry around, and buildings. Did not stay there long, only one day. Did get to the Royal Botanical gardens--beautiful, have nice shots from there. Unfortunately due to some restriction here, I can't upload my pix to this forum. But, if any of you are on my Facebook, I am posting all them there. And we stayed at some beautiful hotels along the way. Funny part---I tried to keep with trying local beer and also whisky. But sometime a women needs a martini. Their local gin was nice, and they had vermouth, but no olives. to bartenders when you cross the line and ask for olives, it now becomes a cocktail. Next trip I'll bring my own olives. Bought few things to bring back, not one for shallow trinkets. A Scotland cap for husband and a hat for myself from the company that makes the hats for Downton Abbey. Saw some herding trails. Saw the Military Tattoo---what a wonderful display. Yes, did eat Haggis, and like it. Got some fish and chips. tried the blood pudding--too salty. had a full Scottish breakfast each morning. Ok. that's it.
