the next adventure: bonny scotland

This last week has made me very appreciative. 

Cups of tea. Home made food. Walking, exploring. Building, learning. Sharing, listening, conversing, story telling. Music -- jamming, improvising, watching. Enjoying. Appreciating. Resting. Reflecting. 

I’ve met and stayed with some of the most welcoming and hospitable people. I’ve been fed and given a nice warm place to sleep; included in daily life and tasks and conversation. It is really nice to be involved and to feel like your input is valued. At both Tangleha House, St Cyrus and Inshriach House, Aviemore there’s always things happening, always plans to bring to fruition, whether it be building a deck or a greenhouse or feeding sheep or cooking for everyone. 

I’ve really enjoyed being outside again - even though the weather has been pretty chilly and, at times, snowy. This area is magnificent. Bonny Scotland is nay bad at all. The combination of genuine, like-minded people and delicious food in a truly beautiful location plus having dogs to snuggle up with and a fire to sit in front of makes me very content.


Here are some snaps from the past week. Enjoy xx
