pucks glen (the second time)
we loved pucks glen so much we climbed up it a second time with jane’s aunt and uncle who live (vaguely) near by.
we had a great time admiring the gushing waters and catching up on life stories
we took the low road back which was a bit flooded
puck’s glen
in our first week in Scotland we stayed at the bottom of Puck’s Glen in
a lodge. it’s owned by a friend of ours who does holiday lettings.
if you are looking for somewhere easily accessible but feels completely
remote from the rest of the world with stunning scenery, and beautiful
walks, then this is the place for you !
protester canoeing in trafalgar square
i went on a 25km walk around london yesterday which involved two food related meetings and collecting our passports (nicely incorporating our NZ residency visas).
on the way through trafalgar square i spotted this lady canoeing round a fountain. she was easy to spot as she was shouting environmental messages at the top of her voice
and the poor plinth person wasn’t particularly bothered and just got on with her weaving
the hitman
i walked past peter waterman of top tv program the hit man and her yesterday. he’s the chap with the blue trousers in the photo above.
i thought i spotted john cleese later in the day too, but unless he’s grown a big beard and has changed what he looks like it probably wasn’t him
scotland day 1 – loch eck
so, let’s start on the holiday snaps shall we ? probably got a few weeks of these, so sorry about that. it’s not all tedious mountains.
initially the water was lovely and still with gentle mist, but it quickly descended in to a rain fest which stuck around for the next, er, 14 days of so
