The Fairy Family Holiday

Thought  I'd put  a few pix together of our hols to let anyone who's interested see some of our lovely Scottish scenery.

It's often hidden behind mist, cloud and rain so here's what it actually looks like! image

This is where we stayed  image

Ardmair Bay, just north of Ullapool on the west coast. The view my parents will always have, and the fairylets are enjoying it too

    and some more...

    The approach to Inverness's 'local' hill 'Ben Wyvis'. Summit is out of sight at the farthest end of the plateau, about one and a half miles from that first  top 'An Cabar'

    RB - we're all quite small - especially oldest fairylet - so it was only 'snug'...image

    Glad you all enjoyed them -  I won't bore you with the other two hundred...image

     

    Do you think I could get a job with the tourist board?... image
