As I Look Outside My Window 

I see the Coach house property where are staying this week, due to its easy proximity to the British Open and other venues . The property sits off a two landed road which is heavily travelled with folks who prefer not to travel the A9 which connects towns and villages  and is the main north south corridor for central eastern Scotland.

 But let’s turn back the clock 2 days!

I awakened in Duncraig Castle on the western coast of Scotland, about 5 miles from the Skye Bridge

I rubbed my eyes to examine my rooms !

 

Super comfy ,,,,,continuing the memory

 

Right Now

I got dressed and decided to explore the castle!  

Every time I walk into the foyer Polly takes me by surprise!

Thinking and pondering

What would it be like to live here?

Be able to listen to beautiful piano playing every moment of the day!

Be able to walk into the parlor and have to make the decision to decide which view from which window to enjoy !

Maybe I would choose the rear parlor and decide on window  number 4 to see if the loch is calm or choppy!

The middle is a great choice!

The mountains are clear  …a great day for a drive!

Or to choose window number 6 

Looks like my sailing friends aren’t out and about yet! But I bet they will be soon! What a great idea!

How I Am Feeling This Morning  

How could one feel on such a glorious morning ? I think I feel like doing a bit of shopping?

There on the table before the divan is my latest copy of Catalog for fine furnishings of manor homes for sale! I”ll spend  an hour or so “ page” shopping for the special something for the great hall beside the player  piano …I know they have busts of composers   What fun  that would be there!

On The Breakfast Plate

I had  coffee and yogurt,  and a slice of British toast with a spread of chocolate peanut butter on it!  Delish!

On My Reading Pile

Hubs and I are both a few days behind in our Bible Reading. We are into the early chapters of Deuteronomy!

On My TV 

 I  enjoy vlogs on YouTube,  Fox News, Sky News from Australia,  I really  like The Kitchen,   and Fixer to Fabulous.   The British show, Location, Location,Location  and the British version of Love It or List It has drawn my attention lately.m

 

A Youtube I really like

From The Camera  …..

The night before we arrived at the castle we stopped at my favorite one for an evening shot at the a lit beauty herself.. Eilean Donen

But yesterday we arrived here ! A coach house in Dunkeld, Perth!

 

Back to the coach house and real life!I washed my hair and this  morning I did my back log of laundry and Lynn and I went over to Dunkeld to pick up a few groceries at the co-op. I did a bit of walking about the town… more about that later.

On My To Do List

• Fix dinner for tonight
• Work on my trip journal
• Catch up on Bible Reading
• Iron my dress for our tea  at Glamis castle tomorrow

Prayers:pray for our continued safety. The driving has gone well but now we are very much on one lane roads and Lynn doesn’t like the propose g of tearing up our car rental so please pray that all goes well!

Pray for our grands to make wise choices at all times esp when we go to Edinburgh Wednesday.

Pray for safe travels as we return west Friday to Loch Lomond and Glasgow where we spend 2 days in city traffic going quite a bit we really liked Glasgow but we’re there just  2 nights before flying  home on the 18 th. Only 1 more week!  Going by too quickly!

Pray for good connections and safe flying on the 18th! 

Thanks so much!
