A quick bus ride (23 mins to be exact) and we were in the town centre, admiring some of the beautiful buildings.
There is also a very modern shopping complex so we did do a little shopping, it would have been silly not to. M & S first on the list for underwear, socks and such. Debenhams had several sale rails with as much as 70% off but I wasn't tempted by anything. The Works was a huge success as we both managed to find books.
I also picked up several cutting dies that were in the sale, perfect for my needs.
Another bus took us to the Hospital, where I sat crocheting and chatting to another lady waiting for her husband. Gerard was exhausted so we got a taxi back to the airport and enjoyed a meal and a well deserved cup of tea. I also had a stroll around the few shops at the airport. This one caught my eye the display were amazing.
The drive from the airport took longer than the actual flight but we arrived home safe and sound, where Mickey was waiting for us. We are so thankful that we have good neighbours who looked after him and the chickens for us.
A good nights sleep and we are ready to start another day. I will catch up ith you later when I get some of my chores done.
See you soon.
I just love all your pictures! I love to travel, however, I can't do it near as much as I would like. So seeing it here is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh you got some lovely things at The Works. I had thought about you when I was in there the other day as they did have a lot of crochet books.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful display that airport shop has.
Glad you are home safe and sound.
Hugs-x-
Those buildings are so scenic. Nice score on the books and other items. I would love to have a day to shop at a thrift store, but I'm busy cleaning before spring arrives.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely goodies you found! I love The Works. It's one of my favourite places to shop when I'm home. I'm tempted to buy far more than I can fit in my suitcases though! Sounds like a long day, but good. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos of your adventure. I'd love to live on your island (or surrounding area!)
ReplyDeleteNice place, pictures and purchases ! A good day well spent !
ReplyDeleteHave a relax weekend !
Anna
Eventhough the purpose was for a visit to the doctor it sounds like a lovely adventure.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a smooth and interesting trip.
ReplyDeleteHope his appointment went well, too.
Mmmmmm, I don't much like those 'little' commuter flights. But I'd have to like them, if I lived on an island. :-))))
✨✨✨✨
What a busy day you had! Complete with flights on a prop plane. Lovely old buildings in Inverness. Nice that you could combine some shopping with the appointment. Enjoy your day. ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a super day out! Imagine getting on a plane to go shopping! Last time we went on a plane was way back in '06. I'm a sucker for books. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing thing to see at an airport - bet they don't have things like that at Heathrow!
ReplyDeleteIt must be fun to go shopping by plane
What a trip.. but it must be kind of fun to visit a big city after being in the quiet countryside, too. I hope Gerard didn't find it too taxing. Enjoy being home in your sweet cottage. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, you packed a lot into a day! I just love the straw horse in the shop. The tried to figure out what the shop was selling — products from
ReplyDeleteScotland, perhaps?
Very picturesque.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely trip you've had. Glad that your husband could make it to his appointment. Looks like it's a lovely place to visit. You did find some lovely treasures there and to be home again safe is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteHope everything is ok with your husband. Those plane pictures are lovely, but I always get quite nervous flying. So nice to get a few treasures while out and see all the lovely sights. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jill
Despite the reason for your trip, it looks like you had a pretty good day going through shops and such. I like those books. What do you use those cutting dies for? I've never seen them before. Hoping that all is well with your husband.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to make a necessary trip to the hospital appt. into a lovely day together. I loved seeing the old buildings and the various displays. I'm not too sure just what the cutting dies are for but no doubt you'll be showing us when you use them.
ReplyDeleteMany nice photos from your adventure trip to Inverness. I like the buildings and what you bought for your crafts. That was a beautiful display you captured at the airport.
ReplyDeleteWhat a long day for someone's who has been ill but an exciting one too. I enjoyed mooching round Inverness with you and will be looking up to see what a cutting die is in a minute!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though your day out went smoothly and I hope your husband has recovered from his long day out in town and at the hospital. It would have been a shame not to visit a few shops whilst you were there and a good idea to take some work to do whilst waiting at the hospital:)
ReplyDeleteYour airplane photos came out very well ! It's not that easy ! I have been in Iverness 4 years ago when I made a round trip through the UK. Had been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIndeed the horse display is very original ! Nice creation !
Inverness looks like a beautiful place, all those wonderful buildings. I hope Gerard is keeping well and that the appointment went okay.
ReplyDeleteYou remind me Macbeth plot with this title☺☺
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your husband are relaxing after the trip to Inverness. It must have been a long and tiring day, but necessary and I hope all continues to go well for your husband. I'm glad you got to do some shopping and found items that appeal and will be useful to you. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a day! I hope Gerard is making good progress. The views from the 'plane are so beautiful - WOW! It's dangerous for me to go into The Works, there's too much temptation, so I mostly avoid it. x
ReplyDeleteHope all is well for Gerard.
ReplyDeleteWe have never been in a plane before, I would but my husband doesn't fancy it.
glad you had a fun outing and I hope his appointment went well. Imagine flying a plane for a dr appointment!
ReplyDeleteYou and Gerard seem to make the most out of any outing. The buildings are beautiful there in the town. I still say it's like a fairy tale, living there.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure a doctor's visit can be when you fly a plane there!
ReplyDeleteBlimey... I thought my commute on the train was exciting (or at least I did at first). Those cutting dies are a bargain… Have you looked at the ones on Aliexpress? I have saved an absolute fortune buying them.
ReplyDeleteSounds a very busy day. I enjoyed all your photographs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to combine some shopping with the hospital appointment, which I hope went well.
All the best Jan
What a long day! Nice that you were able to turn the drudgery of hospital visits into an interesting day out with shopping and a nice meal together. I'm sure you both slept well that night.
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with the appointment. It looks like a wonderful but exhausting day.
