However, how clever of you to plan for taking along your 'professional'. And also how clever of him to find a bookshop in the little town.

I'm glad you made it to Thurso and Inverness. But even if you hadn't, the bothy seems like such a lovely place to stay. Oh, and about 'Britspeak?' I had the same thing happen to me when I came back from Australia and New Zealand the times I've been there.

I've never seen a double rainbow and very few rainbows make their way to the Big Apple.<br /><br />Interesting about the one-lane roads. I've always wondered how they were navigated. Didn't know about the areas where a driver could pull in to let another car pass.<br /><br />Didn't you want to go to Durness, site of women protesting those dreadful landowners' clearances? That is such a terrific part of Scottish and women's history.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
