Default Xmas 2002 in Skye

Just thought I'd show you a few piccies from our trip to the Isle of Skye for Xmas.

Unfortunately, I was ill all over Xmas (and New Year ) so we didn't get out on any walks whilst we were there.

This one is of the traditional croft that we stayed in. It was a spacious 3 bed place with an open fire which was lovely!...

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

And finally, this one was on the drive back home.

It's one of my faves as it captures everything I love about the Highlands and Scotland...

They're gorgeous pictures!

I can't wait for Matt & me to have some time off so we can go away again! (Hopefully we can get time off around our wedding anniversary & take a trip Cornwall)

Wow, there's a blast from the past!!

I can't remember where it was (at the top somewhere) and we never saw anyone.

I think that was my last holiday with my ex.

Remember living room to the right and kitchen to the left through another living type room as you go in the front door. The room on the right as you ebter had a nice fireplace. The old lady had left the key in the door or something so we didnt see her till the last day. Did it still have the visitors book in the lounge!

BTW It was with my ex-hubbie too so must be the ex-cottage!
