Black, white & all the shades of grey

2,000 miles and I’m back in one piece after spending a week with the folks in South Carolina. It was SO good seeing them again, catching up and just making time to relax.

40 is here and my DNA hasn’t unraveled. UK has voted out of the EU so who knows what that will bring as far as relocating goes. While the dust settles around that debacle, there’s the business of having fun.

On the way to SC my satnav took me on a wee detour down Old Tennessee 63 to avoid a traffic jam. It turns out all the best stuff is on the road less traveled.

I think monochrome is my new favourite way to photograph the world. Maybe my passion is hidden in every shade of grey. It’s time to go and find out, shall we?

I'm a South African-born American who dabbles in writing, photography and cookery. I lived in England for 6 years before moving to America. My first trip to Scotland was in 2003 and it was love at first sight. 4 trips later & I'm now on a quest to find a way back to my soul-home in Scotland. I've picked up favourite foods in each place I've lived so I'm a product of all the places I've been. A sprinkling of this, a dash of that and in an emergency, a generous splash of Scotch!
