Och! I’m already homesick* for the place, but it’s nice to be back in the land of wifi. (Thanks for keeping up AC while I was gone, Kitcath!) I missed you guys too! I’ll be back in the land of commenting once my jet lag wears off. I’m most definitely still on British time.
I’m sure you guys don’t want to browse through tons of look-at-my-beautiful-vacation-photos photos, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. In the next post, I’ll show you what I actually wore whilst hiking the damp hills of Scotland (the above photo with H&M scarf and Madewell jacket is utterly misleading). Brands like (gulp) Northface and (shiver) Columbia were de rigueur for me. Be afraid. very afraid.
For now, I’ll leave you with the rosy view of my trip:
* Cath and I spent six months in Edinburgh studying in 2004. Since then, we’ve been deeply in love with Scotland. We can’t explain our choice. We know she has a bad reputation (cold, rainy, a bit moody even), but she is The One for us. If we could move there, we would at the drop of a tartan cap. Sadly, we’ve had to make due with a long distant relationship since 2004 until my brief fling these past 11 days. Cath will hopefully reunite with her next year. P.S. For all our mixed blood, we don’t have a drop of Scottish in us, so our love doesn’t come from kin (or clan). Go figure. It must be the kilts.
“Go figure. It must be the kilts.”– I cracked up at that. Love this photodiary. . and buttery shortbread is just heaven.
Isn’t it, DP?! And somehow buying it stateside isn’t the same thing.
Glad your trip went well, it is always nice to get away. : )
Thanks, Emma!
So you don’t post photos of the vacation, but you post delicious looking fish and chips and shortbread?!? lol. I’m hungry now! Grr. where am I going to get fish and chips and shortbread right now that looks as good as THAT!?
Looks like you had a lot of fun. Good to have you back though!
Thanks so much, Sunny! I know! My mouth was watering when I was putting up the post. I love a good fish fry.
Pretty pictures. Especially, the view from your cottage. Now that’s something I would love to wake up to and see.
Lar. Youre back! I’m so happy!!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to update your blog since the Ann Taylor post. Vaca looks awesome! Did you find any scottish goodies while you were over there?

Awww, thanks, Larinna! Yes I got plenty of goodies- and you’ll be proud to know most of them were for others 😉 I got Cath a gorgeous jacket at Top Shop. I’ll make sure she shows it off soon!
i have never traveled there but do wish to one of these days. i have seen such wonderful views and i just want to go and see the beautiful land they have. glad you had an excellent time!
Sigh. Wish we could’ve met up with you, Lar, but guess it just wasn’t meant to be. This time, anyway!
Oh, I’m so bummed too Sally! You and your hubs will love Scotland once you do go!
Looks like so much fun, and I love your photos! I’ve never been in the UK, but I must make a mental note to go there and explore someday! 😀
Looks like you had a great trip! Scotland is on the top of my list of places to visit.
What kind of camera do you use? All your pictures look amazing!
Thanks, Rebekah! I use just a point a shoot when I travel. In this case, my Nikon Coolpix.
hi darling. glad to see you back. but your twin has been doing a MIGHTY fine job 😉
such great photos darling
hope youre having a wonderful week
xx
Welcome back! It looks like you had a great time in Scotland.
IN the timeless words of Liz Lemon, “I want to go to there.”
Speechless! We’re going to London for leg 2 of our honeymoon in a few weeks. I can’t wait.
PS. If you have time while you’re back, do you think you’d mind guest posting for me while I’m away at my honeymoon? I asked Cath, and she said she’d try to, but there are two Asian Cajuns. having two posts would be LOVERLY. Plus no one’s submitted anything yet and I’m getting nervous.
XX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
Welcome back, Lar! I’m glad you ended up having a fab time. I’d love to see all of your vacation photos ever if you change your mind!
Le sigh. Just wonderful.
Jealous!!! Hope you’re having fun!
