A Round-up of our Travels in Scotland, Wales
and
England (Counties B to L)
 |
| Scotland |
We had twice visited Scotland together in pre-blog times. A four week camping trip with very basic equipment was easy in 1976. We were young and that was the 'Summer of the Century' when even the Isle of Skye felt like a tropical island. The midgies liked that weather, too, and we soon learned that packing up a tent during morning midge time was not a good plan. Another camping trip, with better equipment, followed in 1988 at a time when we could not afford anywhere more exotic. It rained every day for three weeks, so we waited 23 years before trying again. Our camping days are over, our accommodation was much more comfortable and the weather was as good as could reasonably be expected for our three visits to Moray, in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

| Wales |
Despite having lived in England for many years, we are both originally Welsh. Lynne was born in Llanelli, moved to England aged 15 and returned to Wales to attend Cardiff University. Since then she has lived mostly in the English Midlands. I was born in Iran (click here for that story) but my parents were Welsh and it was to Wales we returned before my first birthday. We only stayed a couple of years and I have lived most of the rest of my life in England. My parents always told me I was Welsh, and as dutiful child, I believed them - and still do - though I am the most deracinated of Welshmen. We visit Wales much more regularly than the number of Welsh blog posts might suggest.
