All aboard!

We're off tomorrow, so time to set up the blog:

Places we'll be visting are:

• Edinburgh - food and castles
• Glasgow - Charles Rennie Mackintosh and shipyards
• Islay - friends, whisky and gin (and whisky, whisky, whisky)
• Huddersfield - aunts, cousins and armour
• Dedham - Constable and Secret Water
• Cornwall - ancestors, pirates and my big bro
• Bristol - friends and steamships
• London - Stokie here we come

All will be revealed in time.

Tonight's excitement was a text from Air NZ to say our flight in the morning is cancelled! A phone determined that we've been rescheduled, but our booking hasn't been updated online, nor did we get a text informing us of the rebooking. So we have to take it on faith! Hopefully that will be the only hiccup on the way.

Here's a picture from our last trip to Islay just to inspire us all (and to make sure I know how to post a photo!):

Carraig Fhada lighthouse

Carraig Fhada lighthouse is very close to our cottage which is down by the shore in the same bay.

The next post will be in a few days from Edinburgh.
