... beach big, sandy and empty. took a few photographs.<br>Monday 19 got a boat "Serenity" from Seahouses to the Farne islands, about a 1 1/2 hour journey, saw lots of seals and the Longstone lighthouse where Grace Darling lived and rowed out to save the passengers on a stricken vessel which had drifted onto the rocks. no photos because I forgot the camera!

... views. Mountains have disappeared and sloping fields have taken their place. Shades of gold and brown are replacing green as hedgerows are growing heavy with rosehips. Mid August and already fall is on it&#8217;s way. <br><br>This will be our last night in Scotland. Camping tonight only a few miles from the boarder. Goodbye ...

... out from Edinburgh in the morn. <br><br>We&#8217;d been staying with Pete and Shona for the last few weeks and having a wonderful time, but must be on our way and let them get their lives back. We will greatly miss them, but left in the morning with promises of seeing one another again soon - either on this side of the Atlantic or the other. <br><br> However, after only a minute or 2 down the road, we were having difficulties. Seems that the ...

... final product, mouthwatering single malt whiskey. At the tasting, I got to taste 12 year old whiskey, alongside the Distillers Edition (matured in Sherry casks, and a bit too sweet for my tastes) http://www.malts.com/en-gb/Malts/Tastin gNotes/GlenKinchie.htm#DE A good whiskey (but not at the top of my list) and if you're in the area, I recommend going along.

... jewels) were a bit of a let-down. They make you line up and follw this line through for about 30 minutes, the honours are at the end, and there's only a sword, a sceptre, a crown and the stone of destiny. Bloody big sword though!! Bought me a picnic blanket on my way to meet Cat, then met up with her, had a drink and back to hers to chill out before my train back that evening. All-in-all, a great weekend, and I do hope to get back there one day, just not sure when! L :-) xoxo

Of course while walking home at midnight you could see quite a bit of puke on the streets but it was not as bad as I was warned about. I was warned that people are usually passed out beside their puke and you either pass them on your way home that ...

... ve ever been. New friends much beyond the better half have been a little hard to come by - the Bank is not the most sociable workplace and I don't hit the town as much as I used to these days - but I suppose that will change if I end up staying longer than first planned. I've seen a lot of Scotland by now and over the spring I hope to see still more. Through 'the Borders' to the Lakes district over Easter will be very nice and more adventures in the highlands will be on the ...

... will be more New Year's. Still avoiding the coming home part of this trip, so don't ask. I don't know when I'll be home yet. 2007 looks like the year though ;) Hope Christmas is shaping up well for everyone so far. I'll miss being there for sure. Hope everyone is well and take care!! Talk to you soon. P.S Sandra, any tips on places to see in Holland, things to eat, etc. Want me to bring you back anything?? Thinking of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Delft???

... of Edinburgh near a couple of major football stadiums. I'd read up on the place and honestly didn't know what to expect. Again, aside from the curiosity factor, we were there for...you guessed it, another T-shirt. (Dan!) We found the place, lucked out with a parking place on the street (there is nowhere to park in that area) and went in. Well, it was a Sunday night. There were all of 10 people in the ...
