Winter is back and I'm drinking Milo

I was never this cold in Scotland! Today there's been a gusty southerly and the temperature has dropped back to Winter levels. It's nearly November and we should be having mild weather. Looking longingly at pics online of the Scottish highlands. There are lovely pics of Glencoe Wood on the www.highlandtitles.com website. Oh, to be there now, drinking tea, or even better, a lovely Scottish single malt whisky, sitting in front of a tent on our small chunk of land. The closest we've been to Glencoe Wood is Fort William. We were in Scotland in 2008-2009, and we travelled by train from Edinburgh to Fort William, then the train trip to Mallaig, planning to catch the ferry to Skye. What a gorgeous train trip! There weren't many travellers on that train, and we had a bit of a guided tour by a holidaying bus driver who knew the countryside really well. Our ferry to Skye first had to do a 6-hour trip around the Small Isles, and as it was a glorious blue-sky but freezing cold day, who could refuse that? And late in the afternoon the ferry returned to Mallaig then took us over to Skye. We fell in love, of course. Perhaps we'd already been in love with Skye. We were there a few days, went on a car tour all over the island, but the highlight was going for a car trip with our B&B hosts 'out the back' of Sleat, and the scenery and the company was splendid. All too soon we had to leave, but with a promise of returning to see our new friends and their wonderful island. Sigh. I'd go back tomorrow.
