Today I am grateful for holidays....especially my holidays!!!
I know that the kids sometimes wish they had somewhere more exotic to tell their class-mates about in September (this is the two who have been to the Cayman Islands and Cyprus in the last couple of years!!), but I love coming home for the holidays.
I am often asked if I miss Scotland, and my answer is always the same...No, but I miss my family. But, if I am really honest, every year when we come over the water and I step on home soil....I want to stay!
I almost forget from year to year just what a beautiful country this is. And it is still all so familiar to me. Now, the weather is sufficiently similar to Ireland that that makes no difference, but the scenery just does not compare. I mean, a mountain in Ireland is really just a wee hillock!!!
Yet another thing that is easy to take for granted, guys! Don't do it!! Revel in this beautiful country; the hills and mountains, the green countryside, the fantastic coastline, the fields of sheep and cows, and, yes, even the rain and fog!
I am looking forward to the rest of my holidays, and I intend to enjoy every moment!!
Gratefully yours.
