Happy Travels

by scottishvisitor - last update: Jun 2, 2009

Wild Blue Bells herald beginning of Summer

The Sweet Highlander

I love little details

Whether I travel near or far I love to seek out the unusual and natural environments . I do love nature and travelling a bit off the beaten tourist path. Maybe this is why I chose the Kintyre Peninsular for my last trip. Not many VT'rs have travelled here, so no hope of 'Top Five' pages, this does not matter to me, I just love visiting these small nooks and crannies. The Kintyre Peninsular is a long finger of land which is almost an Island connected by only one mile, it holds a wealth of small beautiful, scenic and natural places to visit.

Shannon had her last trip

My travels along the way are usually unplanned - last minute affairs - At this moment in time I shall stay in the UK while Kenny is in Abu Dhabi. Shannon had her last trip to see the Vet in Peterhead :( a short trip but a necessary one. She had grown old like we all must do - her problems were all age related and there is no going back from there. I have many happy memories of this grand old lady = she was a great constant companion and very dear friend. Shannon I loved you dearly = you are always in my thoughts - rest well my sweet heart.

My Home Village

Cruden Bay is too tiny a village to be on VT's Data Base. If you would like to see where I live take a look at my Aberdeen page in off the beaten path. I love to picture the sky here at home. On a clear sunny day you are always rewarded by a terrific and dramatic sunset = a perfect way to end a day.

Libby A Sweet Addition to our family

Sweet little Libby was born on the 14th. December she is great early Christmas Present. Libby has grown a lot now and is the image of her Daddy = all in the family would not agree!

Sasha & Cuileanne - Black & Tan

I love reading!

I had read Marley & me by John Grogan and I didn't think for one moment my Chocolate Labrador could be as bad as his Yellow Labrador. Cuileann has her moments too like Marley but on the whole is a loving companion. She now has a new friend in the shape of a black Labrador of a mere six months. My friend, Moira acquired Sasha from a man in Aberdeen who had got a job offshore and could no longer keep this sweet dog. It is sheer joy now to have two dogs to walk and play together.

Postcards from around our World

I have always collected postcards from my travels but have only recently started to send and receive them through Virtual Tourist. My most recent postcard came from Mandy aka VT member agapotravel Thanks to VT Members bijo69 aka Birgit from Berlin for the lovely post card of Santiago and the new one from Moscow. Thank also to Julz aka barbskie for her postcard from Zurich, SLLiew from Penang, also Christine j aka Christine who sent 2 from Mannheim and 1 from lovely Hiedelberg and Starship aka Sylvia who started the postcard swap with me by sending one from Cape May.
If you would like to receive a postcard please e-mail me.

Laughter is contagious

A little encouragment goes a long way

Remember happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.

 I love the cat in your member photo! Is she (he?) real or just a cute photo you found somewhere?

 Hi Joan, thanks for your ratings and nice comment on my Münster page. The only cycling I've done in Scotland thus far was in Edinburgh & vicinity, and my main problem was that I'm not used to riding on the left side of the street instead of the right.

 Thank you Joan for stopping by my Anaheim Travel Page. It is often so crowded now, but during the week is the best to visit it. I have just as much fun there, as my boys. Have a lovely day!
