Gentle alternative


And a gentle easing back into blogging for me.  I did consider a huge, attention-grabbing post, but I haven't been doing huge, attention-grabbing things, so here is life as it has been in Scotland this summer.

Some might say that 'the' T in the Park is the rock festival with international names and epic mud and all the standard, repeated across the country rock festival ingredients.  I prefer the sound of the Glenlivet version.  We didn't manage to get there, sadly, but we hope to make it for the 10th annual event.  There's still just time to catch it, if you happen to be in the area this weekend.

  1. That sounds just about right to me, besides, festivals are always too wet now. Nice to see you back!

    1. Do you think the organisers choose to hold their festivals during wet weather for that extra bit of fun?

  2. Oh that sounds ideal! I've been to the Glenlivet distillery a few times and it is such a beautiful area. What do you suppose the "Bottle Race" entails? My imagination is racing!

    1. I did wonder? I was thinking plastic bottles in the River Livet. Glass ones don't sound a good idea.

  3. haha love the 'Tea in the Park' thing - that's much more to my liking than rolling around in the mud - and you can't beat a good cuppa tea!! :)

  4. Linda,

    I would love to watch a spinning demonstration, I think that would be so interesting. I used to knit years ago but haven't done any knitting for so long I wonder if I could maneuver the needles. HAH

    I have on occasion tasted Glenfiddich whiskey and was told it was the best! :)

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    1. Kristie, I used to work at Glenfiddich distillery - great fun. Every distillery thinks its whisky is the best!

    1. I agree. Slower summer months would be just perfect.

  6. Wait, "tea in the park"?? At Glenlivet hall? I demand they immediately change it to "WHISKEY IN THE PARK".

    1. I think you speak from experience, Larry. You always have so many projects on the go.

    1. Whisky is a bit like wine - so many different tastes.

  9. Sounds lovely. Tea in the afternoon and a dram a bit later. And spinning! Is this 'the spin yarn' sort of spinning or the 'pedaling very hard on a stationary bike' sort of spinning? I hope the former! Welcome back.

    1. It must be the former, Buck. I can't imagine the latter being popular in Glenlivet.

  10. Glad to have you back! I wish my Summer had been as quiet as I hoped it would be lol

    1. Sorry to hear that you've had a hectic time. Perhaps September will be a bit calmer.
