Nous nous sommes accordé presque 2 semaines de décompression intense....en Écosse :D
La reprise s'est faite sur des chapeaux de roues et me voici seulement aujourd'hui pour vous montrer quelques photos (le choix a été difficile...) de cet endroit magnifique que nous affectionnons tout particulièrement !
| Ile de Skye - Skye Island |
Nous étions super bien logés, au milieu de la nature et bien positionnés pour pouvoir rayonner ;)
on en a fait des kilomètres, mais ça valait le coup !
| Notre cabane - Our lodge |
Édimbourg, Le Loch Ness, L'Ile de Skye....
Le pont où est passé le train qui menait Harry Potter à l'école de magie, le château d'Highlander...les pas de William Wallace
| Le château d’Édimbourg - Edinburgh Castle |
Un beau périple :)
En pratiquant le Géocaching nous avons en plus eu la chance de découvrir des endroits où nous
n'étions jamais allés !
| Loch Ness |
| Urquhart Castle - Loch Ness |
Partis en mai plutôt qu'en septembre comme d'habitude, nous avons découvert l’Écosse sous d'autres couleurs, une autre nature...et même avec de la neige :)
| Glencoe |
Un beau voyage bien dépaysant avec une seule promesse au retour, celle de ne pas attendre 8 ans pour y retourner :D
| Quelque part sur Skye - Somewhere on Skye |
Au retour nous nous avons fait un petit arrêt à Stratford Upon Avon, la ville natale de Shakespeare :)
Depuis le temps que je voulais y mettre les pieds !
| Maison qui a vu naitre Shakespeare - Shakespeare's birthplace |
Pas de croix cette fois ci, mes aiguilles ont un peu été en vacances :)
Mais d'ici peu un nouveau post.....
Merci à Super Moitié pour ses magnifiques photos
A bientôt
| DMC ?? :) |
Hi there
No, I haven't disappeared again :D
We just made a break of about 2 weeks and went to Scotland.
Both Hubby and I are great Scotland lovers, we are fond of Scotland and hadn't been there for 8 years !!!
![]() |
| Fairy pools - Skye |
Too long :)
Usually we go in September, going in May allowed us to see that wonderful country through other colours, another landscape, nature...and even with snow !
| La petite maison dans la ...Glencoe - The little house in the ...Glencoe |
We had a terrific lodge , somewhere at the Ben Nevis foot (see in the pictures above) perfectly situated to drive here and there and discover beautiful places.
We play Geocaching and this made us discovering places we had never been before :)
| Eilean Donan castle - Utilisé pour le film Highlander / Used in the movie Highlander |
Edinburgh, Loch Ness, Isle if Skye.... we really had a wonderful trip !
We promised ourselves to not wait for 8 years before coming back ;)
| Carrbridge |
Here is the Glenfinnan bridge, that was used in Harry Potter movies :)
The train used at that time is still on. It is a very beautiful one but that was too expensive for us to take it. We wanted to see it on the bridge but hadn't that luck ;)
| Glenfinnan - Quelque chose d'Harry Potter ? ;) |
We just walked in the paces of Rob Roy in the Glencoe and William Wallace in the Borders ;)
| New Abbey |
On the way back, we made a stop at Stratford Upon Avon , the town where Shakespeare was born ;)
For years I've been wanting to visit it ! it has been a short stop but it is such a lovely town that it worth the few miles more and coming back home later.
And look what we saw there ? 2 perfect shops :)
No cross stitch to share with you this time... it will come with another post soon :)

| DMC ? :) |
Just wanted to share with you that little paradise we love. We are not fond of white sand beaches and 40° ... this is really a little paradise to us :)
| Glencoe |
I wanted to thank you for your kind comments on my SODA pieces in the previous post, I'll answer them soon.
And also, a special thank to Super Half for those beautiful pictures (the choice has really been difficult )
Coming soon
