I do get asked this question quite regularly. Of course my first answer is Scotland, and we certainly spend more time away from home here than any where else, which is a great way to mix business with pleasure. Our last trip of the year was to Lochalsh and Skye in mid-October. We had a quite incredible day on the Staurday driving the Beulach na Ba - pass of the Cattle - at over 2000 feet the highest road in Scotland. At the top the views towards Skye were from a different world. The weather that day was really sunny and we got some great pictures- a few of which will be appearing very soon on the website. It was made all the more specila as we had taken the Morgan 4/4 which we use for classic car touring holidays. It brought the scenery even closer!

Earlier this month we did venture overseas, and Africa is probably our favourite “abroad ” destination. This year we had a very special trip, spending 5 days in Rwanda, incing 2 days tracking Mountona Gorillas, then 5 days in Kenya. We lived for nealry 2 years in Nairobi and were delighted to catch up with our very dear friends the Pandit family. We then headed to the Rift Valey and to an Ecolodge called Shompole, on a Masai conservancy. The rooms were out of this world - very open plan with a stunning outlook over the valley. it was quite a wrench to leave- I think Heather would have stayed there for ever!

Now its back to Scotland, with winter definitely - and finally - here. More recce trips underway - off to Speyside and the Cairngorms today. Getting excited about the new season, with lots of new holidays and plenty of old favourites in the pipeline.

One New Year’s resolution - write my blog more often!
