Absolutely loved our time there, so peaceful (when we weren’t making a noise!) What a fantastic host Paul has been, making us so welcome in his home, an excellent cook and amazing baking skills too. Shortbread and cookies straight out of the oven. Scrumptious meals each night rounding off with a Sunday roast last night. 😋
A good old mix of weather, but thankfully had the garage to work in.
I managed to get a couple of short walks in, one of which with the lovely Raffi dog!
Said our farewells this morning and left a little reluctantly! Could have happily stayed a lot longer!
We worked our way up last week, with a stopover in Pitlochry, then Fort Augustus and then on to Paul’s. So today we had a quick stop in again at Dunnet head and John O’Groats for the requisite photo opp and now find ourselves back in Pitlochry after a brilliant run down the coast with stunning scenery and weather.
Thank you, Paul so much for everything and thanks for the up-to-date pics of the bumper which is now back on. Give Raffi dog a carrot from us, we’re missing her and the peace! And big thanks for making the trusty van look so shiny and clean! 😃 – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
