back on the road again :-)

 

First road trip of the year !! our last trip out was October  2020 to Cromer on the east coast. This time we have headed north and are currently parked up on a campsite in Scotland on our way up to visit friends on Skye.







The journey here was uneventful, just under 400 miles, the last 50 mile or so taking us up to and through Glen Coe where the mountains still had the last of the winter snow on them.




We are by the side of Loch Leven, clean and tidy campsite, £29 per night so more than we would sometimes pay but the location is worth it.. We managed to have a stroll down to the local garage where we bought ice-creams and passed the time of day with the lovely lady working there. We were chatting for so long that she actually replace our uneaten ice creams ( masked up in the shop, magnum ice creams purchased) with fresh ones as she was worried that they had melted ! It really wasn't hot enough but lovely gesture.

The local craft shop was closed but we admired the weather vane.




I had hoped to get the spinning wheel out but the weather was against me so I’m going to curl up with my cross stitch for an hour before dinner.



More photos to follow in the next few posts x

How wonderful for you! It must feel so good to get out on the road. I can't get The Mister to budge on getting our own camper. I can't get him to budge off the couch most days lol....

we have found the camper to be an absolute life saver, the chance to get away most months ( except recently) has been amazing even when it has just been for couple of nights x
