Tea for Two

Tea time at Vanilla Black with Amy. We attacked the meringue first. 

Here Duckie Duckie

I decided to feed some ducks today. Having a major brain/design/creativity breakdown. But the ducks were so happy.

Aberdeen- COME TO THE LEMON T

Here for Auntie Jonatha's gig at the Lemon Tree. So much talent in this family...and knitting. 

I have a minor question about the title of this store....

 

Oh, the ancestors.

 

 

We had some great coffee here...too bad the clock sucks.

Cozy

such a cozy place. great for a pot of tea and a good conversation.

Christmas Time.

It has been a very busy week. Final assessment coming up and chilly weather. But I went to this cute bakery and got the most delicious dark chocolate meringue...I might have gotten it only because it had purple glitter on it. Walking around in town is so much fun. There are pipers EVERYWHERE in full kilt attire. Wonderful to listen to. And then I found the most exquisite pair of loafers. My life is complete.

Promenade

I feel like going for a walk. Anybody want to come?

Very Very Bad

I was a very bad christmas elf today. I went to The Lighthouse art gallery today and had a beautifully inexpensive lunch. Tomato and herb soup with bread and then the most delicious cake. Then I went shopping around, there was this beautiful store that I could have sold my soul in...so I left quickly. So many cute stores, especially T.M. Lewin which has the most beautiful shirts and cufflinks, and Wittard has the most beautiful tea and of course I had to get a candycane.

Demijohn

My favorite place right now. They let you choose the bottle and then the rum/vodka/whiskey you want to put in it.

Stirling

I am going to live in Stirling. Gorgeous town. You go up the hill to get to the castle, and down the hill to get to the trains. Went to a great bar with great atmosphere. Just a very old place.

Loch Lomond

So I went to Loch Lomond with my friends and when you get about 10 minutes outside Glasgow you immediately see tons of little farms. We stopped at one and I got some rhubarb ginger jam and some honey with a big chunk of honey comb in it.

So many sheep and wooly highland cows, I want to bring one home for the dogs. The Loch is beautiful and chilly. Cold fresh water, beautiful mountains, swans and ducks swimming around.

Can you tell i was hungry?

On the way back it seems i could only focus on the shops that had food.....so we decided to stop at a really good soup place. I had the carrot ginger soup. warm and yummy.

then there was the ducati store. i just couldn't say no to that.

Botanic Gardens

Walked to the botanic gardens today. Perfectly lovely, so green, warm etc.

Church

3 Sisters

More Glen Coe

Glen Coe

Apparently an enormous exhausting hike is equal to a 'wee walk'. I had a great time finding that out.

Glen Coe is the most humbling and magnificent experiences. We had all four seasons in the hour and a half it took to get to the inner valley. I can't even explain how it feels to be on these mountains that have not changed for hundreds of years.

After Glen Coe we went to Glenfinnan and Arisaig, and Mallaig, through Fort Williams and up the coast.

I don't think I will ever leave this place.
