The Wanderers Return

We are back once again from our travels.   We have had a wonderful time catching up with everyone, I do miss them terribly so a lot was crammed into the few days we had with each family.  A little tiring but well worth it, we did a lot of driving but some of the scenery was a joy to behold.  The drive through the Cairngorms was a delight, we took a leisurely drive taking in the stunning views and had a lovely break at Aviemore to stretch our legs and get some lunch.  Thankfully it was a nice day both driving down and back so we were able to enjoy lunch sitting outside.

There was a little snow left on some of the tops of the mountains, some of the crevices looked white but it was difficult to decide if it was snow or not.   A feast for the eyes, such beautiful sights.  Let me take you on yet another beautiful drive, this time through the Highlands.

 

Aviemore is a great place to break up the journey and let Mickey have a stroll, he enjoyed the ambience as much as we did.  Although famous for its winter sports, particularly skiing it is a great all year around holiday destination.

 

 

It was a joy to see the steam train, although not environmentally friendly these days it did conjure up some amazing pictures in my mind of a bygone era and some childhood memories.

 

I did manage to pick up some vintage table linen at a charity shop, perfect for our new home and of course I did have a quick peek into a craft and gift shop.

 

 

A great place for a break albeit a short one.
