Belated Tales of a Picadilly Highlander

It seems like ages ago but we did go on holiday this year and here is the proof of exactly how beautiful it was.....but first we had to get there.
...are we nearly there yet?
Ok, I know....enough is enough, first a bus-then the sleeper-then another train-then another bus...but I promise one little more taxi ride and then.......yes back to the comfort your accustomed to.
I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille...
What, have I got something on my face?


Come on...please just a wee forty winks.

Does my bum look big in this?
He wasn't giving this one back for anything. It'd been festering nicely for quite a while, mmmm yummy.
See it does get sunny in Scotland sometimes. Lucky we had a furry neighbour to keep Hamish occupied.
We're going to need a bigger boat.....
What the hell kind of dog d'ya call that? YIKES!
The view in front of our cottage.
I'm sure he was a working dog in a former existence. This is Bill Cowie, Rona's manager (that covers a vast amount of things - very hard work) Bill thought Hamish was a very posh dog and called him a Picadilly Highlander. Bills dogs sleep outside even in Winter.
A peaceful wee inlet with mist in the distance.
It's all so much fun, but leaping through the heather is very tiring.
Hamish takes in the last of the sea air on the boat back from Rona to Portree.

How did you manage on the train?
Do they have dog toilets?

Hamish loved the sleeper and slept even better than us. He went all the way from London to Inverness without a pee - 9pm till 8am. The train stopped briefly at Edinburgh to change engines or unhitch some carriages and I sneaked him out quickly but no amount of persuasion could make him pee with all the new distractions. He was a big hit with the platform staff.

He travelled very well - Very Good Boy!

Scotland looks very nice - Charlie would like to go there to convalesce. Hamish is looking absolutely gorgeous!
