Leaving the Glen we took a look at our list and the hours of daylight left - we already realized that we would be arriving at our Bed and Breakfast in the dark (which we didn't want to do - but on a Stojk trip this is one of our traveling 'rules' that we break nearly every. single. day. Apparently we like driving in the dark without a clue of knowing where we are) We did want to see Eilean Donan maybe in the light and hopefully get some pictures of the fields of deer and stag before … [Read more...] about Leaving Skye through Loch Ness to Southern Inverness – and is Choc Caramel Slice an Aussie or Scottish invention?
Fairy Glen (Uig), Isle of Skye Scotland – still…..on Day 4 of our Scotland Trip
A couple of weeks ago we went to the movies to see Disney's Brave. As a mom, let me say, Disney does not treat us very well at all.

Might I suggest you listen to her? That said - it has one fantastic sound track and the art crams all of the Scottish wonders into the small little area that is their … [Read more...] about Fairy Glen (Uig), Isle of Skye Scotland – still…..on Day 4 of our Scotland Trip
Today It's Back to Scotland!
In June I quit my office job with a goal to give focus to my own business again.

And it has been just that - a challenge! This week has been so busy....then my phone updated and my watermark app no longer functions. I had 2 different groups of ladies here yesterday - and - well - I … [Read more...] about Today It's Back to Scotland!
