Pretty pic :o)

Golly, that looks craggy !
Is it shingle or flint in the foreground ?

Hi Louise i t was like slate . It was a lovely place.

Did you stay in one of those houses in the picture - are they hotels or holiday homes or normal private houses ?

They were private houses and strangers were not welcome, it was a place called seil island We stayed at the Dalmally hotel in Dalmally luxury to die for.

Mmmm, sounds like my kind of place !!!

Well, was about to say that Scotland is a bit more than a row of houses - LOL!!! Seil Island is one of a group of small islands known as the Slate Islands, near Oban. In recent times, was more well-known as the home of the late Frances Shand Kydd, mother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Know of (but never stayed at) the Dalmally Hotel! :-( lol!

Hi David Thankyou for your comment and info about seil island.Scotland is a very beautfuf place especially at this time of the year.

Beautiful place looks quite quaint, never been to Scotland my self, have lived with one and got his daughter but thats as far as I have gone lol

Hi morgana You should go if you get the chance it's lovely.

I will never go as its not my fate I do believe in fate, as the sun will not visit the north and I am of a sun sign, if it was ment to be I would of gone when I was going out with my daughters dad which he never took me. My x husband he started to take us in the 70s, a bird hit the car, which caused a puncture, so we had to return home, I seen this as a warning but never said any thing. Later there was a crash on the motor way we would of been involved if we had carried on. I do study life and every one has warnings, its just that people don't take heed.

Ooooo thats scary you might have something there.

:o)

i have been to seil island, loved the slate

isn't it a pretty place.?I would love to go back there.

do i remember some kind of an artist studio?? i think its more than ten years since i was there. We stayed at Ardmaddy Castle ~ it was beautiful.

yes i think there was, we stayed in Dalmally.

dont know dalmally.
when i say we stayed at the castle ~ i mean in the grounds but you could go into their kitchen garden and for a small amount of money you could help yourself ~ courgettes, raspberries, etc etc ~ wonderful!!

ooo lovely i love raspberries. courgettes i'm not sure about.

i have a feeling they were the yellow ones.

I have tried steaming courgettes with little bits of ginger mixed in ~ works quite well.
