Day 7 of quarantine: I’m eating too much, but getting some mandatory coursework done for my Virginia teacher licensure (I need to recertify). I also figured out how to play tennis by myself in my garden, by using the side of my brick garage. Exciting times!

Current status: Day 4 of mandatory quarantine, reminiscing about a beautiful summer day in Scotland, and wondering when European borders will open up. Can you spot my husband relaxing in this picture?? Old Man of Storr is a perfect spot to sit and rest. That’s what I did after climbing to the top. 😂

The view of the Glenfinnan Monument, from the viaduct. I’m always amazed at the views in Scotland. If you plan on visiting the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct (to see the Hogwarts Express, of course!) make sure to get their early because there is limited parking. In the time before the train arrives, check out the monument and soak in these amazing views. You can find more specifics on my Isle of Skye blog post (link in profile).

Beautiful Inveraray Castle on a moody day in Scotland. Everything is greener in Scotland.

Daylight savings time means it’s going to be light for longer! UK winters are tough - in December and January, the sun sets before 4pm where we live. But the plus side of that is the extra daylight in the summer, where it’s light until almost 11pm! ☀️

For me, it’s the thatched roof and beautiful stone that makes this street look so quaint and British. There are villages like this all over England, but this particular gem is the village of Corfe, in Dorset. If you’re planning a trip to the Jurassic Coast, this is worth a stop. Check out the link in my profile for more.

The Lake District (and England in general) boast so many great hikes. I can’t wait to get back out there! This beautiful view is on the way back down from the summit of Old Man of Coniston, and boy did it hurt! I’ve officially reached that age where my knees hurt more going DOWN the mountain than up. Can you relate??

It doesn’t get more charming than these adorable homes.

Wishing you all a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Slainte! 🍀🌈👇
