This was my holiday home for two weeks in July. It is a crofters cottage up the side of a mountain. The only other building you can see from here is The Hermitage in the distance. This is a fabulous cottage. It has NO ELECTRICITY, so no TV or radio. It has been updated since Mama & Dada’s last visit in 2001 because it now has solar powered lights internally.

The only noise you can hear is the bleating of the sheep scattered around the mountain and on some weekdays, the RAF do low flying over the cottage – so low that you can see the pilots!

If you want to escape from the “rat-race” as Mama calls it, then this is really the place to unwind. They holiday-ed here at least 5 times over the years with one of the holiday’s being their belated honeymoon.

Ooops, sorry, didn’t manage to call round! So busy getting “my other home” ready that I only manage a quick visit to my first home, before I’m scampering off to my 2nd home! We’ll get organised soon though, I promise.

Anyway, just quickly scanning through my “September Scottish Holiday” and remembered that Dada destroyed two of Mama’s new babies that she likes to collect.

Here’s the evidence. Dada dropped the bag in our holiday cottage, onto the granite floors and this is the result!

Today though, I helped Mama glue them back together. They’ll now take up residence in my “Scottie Collectibles Cabinet” with all my other Greatest Scottie Finds. Does anyone else have Collectibles Cabinet? Perhaps we can share stuff?

Anyway, here’s the two new “babies” ….. PS Dada went back into Kelso (in Scotland) whilst we were still on holiday and bought 4 more “babies” for Mama. These babies though, are living in my 2nd home – I’ll get photos next week as I’m back off there on Thursday!
