Sunny Scotland

We are back from a very sunny and warm Scotland. We started our holiday in Glasgow and didn't waste any time going straight up to Loch Lomond for a BBQ with Ann, Keith, Jo, all friends of Andrew Bonner. On the way we stopped off at Morrisons for some supplies and bumped in to an old Friend from IFES, Gwen Henderson who worked in Hungary, when I was in Prague. Small world... After a couple more days in Glasgow we caught a coach up to Oban, the gateway to the western islands and visited the isles of Mull, Staffa and Iona. Laying aside all the historical significance of Columba of Iona and the impressive pillars of Staffa , perhaps the biggest thrill was our boat trip to Staffa as we were buffeted by waves both to and from the island. I had visited all three islands before but not in this sunshine and it was like heaven on earth. The white sands of Iona and bluey, turquoise sea. We returned to Glasgow in the evening and before returning to England couldn't resist another picnic by Loch Lomond. Thank you Mr Bonner for a great week in God's country.
