Oops in Ullapool
Ullapool view from lounge room
Well, firstly, we had no accommodation secured. And it’s peak holiday season here. But we ended up landing a brilliant little self-catering place on the top of Ullapool hill. It was not “on the market” – really cheap (well, for Ullapool, at peak season!) and has the most amazing [...]

All things Scottish at the Blair Atholl Gala Evening / Killiecrankie
We went across the road to Memorial Park for the special “Gala Evening” in Blair Atholl and arrived on the scene just in time to follow the all-female Blair Atholl pipe band in. Terrific.
Then we were treated to Scottish dancing, Clydesdales, vaulting (acrobatics on [...]

When Ed finally came back, we thought [...]

Have we gone mad?
We have sold our Helena Valley home, taken Sasha out of school, sub-contracted work (Lois), got a laptop each, and have taken off overseas. A sea-container which holds all our worldly possessions (except photographs) is located on a friend’s property.
Our thoughts went (kinda) like this….. want to move house, grandparents in England are in their [...]
