I'm here, I'm back
I have had a wonderful break with family and friends in Scotland and I am so glad you have all had patience with me as I took time to relax and enjoy spending every minute with people I care about and love
It has been 3 years since I was last in Scotland and 3 years since I last saw many of those wonderful people and faces
So thank you for sticking around and waiting on me
Here is my last 5 weeks shrunken down
"From where I Stand"
(wk28) This is the week my boy and I hopped on a plane and he got to see Scotland for the 3rd time in his life, this time he will remember more and retain it - I am excited

My 2 homes - Texas and Scotland |
Now pop on over to The Boy and Me and check out some other great blogs that are taking part in the 365 Project this year - just click on the "365" logo below
Loads of lovely goodies that I suspect we all take for granted. We were in America whilst you were over here, and I think I was the same with some of the food.
ReplyDeleteYou're back! Hooray! Hope you had a lovely time. £50 notes - dont think I've ever had one of those and wheat crunchies, yum yum! When I lived in the states I missed Marmite, cadburys chocolate and Walkers crisps! My host family thought I was mad when my brother visited with a sack load of crisps :)
ReplyDeletewelcome back, really pleased to read you had a good time. We have spent many a happy hour in Callander Park, always amazed me you needed more points to get a flat there than a house in some other areas of the town.
ReplyDeleteNice that your son is old enough to remember this holiday and your family and friends
So glad you've had such a wonderful time :) Lovely to see the Floral Clock! My suitcase looks a bit like that too... Love the last shot x
ReplyDeleteI love this! Love seeing your take on the FWIS theme in an area more familiar to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Project 365.
I just love the way you capture your week perfectly with feet in every photo (I know I have probably said that before but I do think it is brilliant). Sounds like a really lovely week
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some ex-pat stash! Looks like you've all had a great time back home in Scotland. How lovely to get shot's of family and friends feet in too...a reminder of who you did what with! #365
ReplyDeleteI love Scotland. Looks like you had a great time back there. Love the concept of your photos too! Great goodies to take back! #Project365
