Sum up Sunday

It’s Sunday, the day for summing up the week in 25 words or less.

I look forward to hearing what you’ve been doing. Here’s my week:

Sun, rain, hail, storms

And fun, not a care

As I’m held by friendship

Nature, beauty

Scotland …

Alba, tapadh leat

Surrounded by the beauty of nature

Flaunt it Friday

I’m away on holiday this week and it feels really special because, last year, I had to cancel several holidays due to ill health. I’d rebooked this one with fingers firmly crossed that we’d make it. And we did. It feels like a big achievement.

What have you done this week that you’re pleased with?

We’re off!

Even Peacocks Shelter from the Rain

Yesterday, we went to visit Scone Palace and had just arrived, when so did the rain. A great cry went up from several of the peacocks who call the place home. As I turned, I saw this peacock hop into the tree. I quickly took a photo before we sought our own shelter in the café. Not the greatest photo but it made me smile.

Wordy Wednesday

I’m on holiday this week and my word of the week is holiday. There’s nothing like time away from home, exploring new things and being away from the usual commitments.

The origin of the word is from Old English hāligdæg, which is literally holy day. (Collins English Dictionary)

I am blessed to be in Scotland, a place I love deeply and have been visiting all my life. I’m in Perthshire and I remember my dad always extolling the virtues of the clean air here.

Where’s your favourite place to holiday?
