Somewhere in the Kingdom (Pt 1)

"I'd like to go to Scotland," she'd said.
So, after 25 years, what's a man to do?
Sage advice:  Yes, Dear!
First, London.

Coulda gotten her a room here ...
But there were mixed reviews.

Took a little trip down the Thames.




You can't see Big Ben from this angle.  Why?

"Because Big Ben's a bell."  (Royal Mile, Edinburgh)
A very unOrthodox house.  (John Knox's)

Arthur's Seat.

Old guy standing on the Seat ...
... finds lovely woman.

The gate at Holy Rood, bottom of the Royal Mile (and Arthur's Seat).
A peek through the gate.

Edinburgh Castle

The oldest building still standing on Castle grounds ...
 


Me and Mary (Queen of Scots).

Coronation of Robert the Bruce.

On our 5th anniversary, we were at Chartes Cathedral, France ... and witnessed a wedding.

20 years later, a wedding at St Margaret's.

Rainy day on the bus to Glascow.

The west side of Scotland reminds of Western North Carolina.

On the ferry to Islay ...

Sláinte!
