Little Wyvis with the girls, Stri loves a lie down on a summit for some reason!!

A night away in the van. Curry in the sun at Dalraddy caravan park (superb btw) then drinks with a view from the over night carpark at Cairngorm.

The Dons.

When your partner suggests a Sunday afternoon at the Black Isle bar, who am I to say no……

Nipped up to Torridon last night for Liz’ Fish Fridays. It did not disappoint one bit!! A former F1 legend and car designer was also enjoying the delights, the people you see in the remote parts eh.

Bergamo, Citta Alta. A view from our room overlooking the garden. Currently in Bologna where it’s a bit busier! Visit Italy Official Nat Geo Travel

Bologna, superb. Food is as good as they say, although Modena may be just as good if not better…..

Modena. An absolute gem that goes under the radar.

Milan. Last destination of the week. Searing temps but bustling as always. Dearer than the other destinations which are incredible value for money compared to back home. Italians are just so bloody cool.

A fantastic return to Skye, The Old School Restaurant in Dunvegan still producing the goods! As does Dunvegan bakery, the oldest on Skye, definitely worth a stop off if you are nearby.

What a weekend, camp spot for Saturday night above Lochnagar wasn’t too shabby. My word that was a tough walk in though in that heat. VisitScotland VisitCairngorms.com walkhighlands The Great Outdoors
