We just heard from the Bank, so this place is going to be ours very soon. The anxiety and pressure of the last few months is paying off. Now the real work begins.

Take me back! I've not even been back at university that long and I feel in desperate need a holiday once more . . . . #holiday #ineedaholiday #highands #scotland #scotlandsbeauty #nofilter #nofilterneeded #glencoe #kinlochleven #lochleven #blogger #travelblogger ##scottishblogger #lovemycountry (at Kinlochleven)

small thoughts on today

Driving through the highlands in October is an exercise in breathing.

A lesson on how to hold your breath with your heart in your throat and how to cram every moment of awe into one lung burning sigh.

It’s also an exercise in holding your bladder.

An exercise in self-control not to pull over every other mile to snap another photo.

An exercise in whooping into midday sun and running through golden light.

An exercise in getting caught in waves of still-yellow heather.

Standing in the highlands in October is learning how to handle wind. A lesson on how to feel so weightless against each gust that you dig your heels into the mud so you don’t blow away. A lesson on watching the same wind whip through the tall blades of golden grass, sloping hills, mossy boulders and being blown away anyway.
