A beautiful start to the day today, the early morning sun showcasing the beautiful green palette of the mountains. Despite the beautiful view, the noise of traffic spoilt the moment. Would we ever become used to so much noise again? Probably. This trip we have tried to slow the pace, driving less and spending time taking in an area and the views, and talking to many people. Tonight is our sixtieth blog, and as we always say, it's not so much the places you see, but the people you meet along the way that you associate with those places. We love this travelling life, ( except when it's wet and cold). We love the fact it is so sociable.
Today we drove towards Aberfeldey, stopping for lunch in the pretty village of Killin.
The scenery was stunning. The traffic fast moving. The driving of some of the vehicles very dangerous. Why are people in such a hurry? We can't say it enough. Oh, how we miss the islands! We were going to stay in Aberfeldey, but seven miles before was another Forestry Commission stopover at Kenmore. So here we are.
A walk in the woods, then afternoon coffee down in the village. John happy to be able to pick wild strawberries and raspberries. We are loving being so in touch with nature, and marvelled at the beautiful purple flowers of the spiky thistles now starting to reveal themselves.
The village of Kenmore is very beautiful, though it is almost entirely a holiday resort with a single owner.
We are about to begin the last week of this trip. So we need to make the next week count and choose wisely where we visit. We are not looking forward to returning home, but knowing we'll be off again in Marge at the end of August makes it not feel so bad.
