10.06.08 Scottish Summer

Posted under: Personal, Scotland

Summer is here in Montreal and it’s hard to spend any free time at home in front of a desk, unless it’s to upload a fantastic picture of back home sent from your parents’ latest outing. Anybody thinking of holidaying in Scotland would be wise to get there ASAP while the two weeks where it doesn’t rain holds up.

I have many a fond memory of viewing beautiful scenes like this through rain-covered car windows, steamed up with a family’s-worth of impatient breath and opened flasks of tea, finally taking one triumphant run outside during a break in the clouds before driving back home again to our Sunday dinner and less weather-reliant pursuits of newspapers and videogames.

    Hey Jon,

    Look what I found! - your website / blog. Very interesting, where do you get the time? I have a blog, but my updates are, like, once every 6 months … if I’m lucky. You are clearly a incredibly motivated and prolific individual. I doth my cap.

    Anyway, thanks for the link. I really should update that website soon too. Have fun and hopefully we’ll see you back in your beloved Scotland soon.

    Brendan
