Summer Holiday Adventures 2008 (volume 3)

| No Comments

I'm continuing to be a bad blogger, despite promises to the contrary. But my dad's been growling at me for not blogging, and since it's fathers day today in Australia, I thought it was high time that I sat down and finished putting up some of the more choice photos of our trip to the UK (and hopefully my dad will stop his whinging - are you happy, dad?).

Of all the places we've visited in the UK, Scotland really stole my heart. The people were so friendly, bending over backwards to help and with a wicked sense of humour, and the landscapes were simply breathtaking. The first time we drove through the highlands, with the hills covered in heather, I had tears pouring down my cheeks - I might be a sentimental dork, but the country is just magnificent. Every time we turned the corner, there was something else to see, and the views just got more and more beautiful.
