A wee trip down Memory Lane

I started this blog at the end of last year, after I had my hysterectomy. A few weeks before that, I’d taken a trip to Scotland, but never recorded the details of that trip on this blog.

So I’ve gone back and done that. I’ve published it on the dates it happened, so back in November 2015. Looking through the photos and remembering the details of it all has made me both happy and sad.

Happy to remember the absolutely incredible experiences; sad to know that I’m not there right now. Tomorrow it’s off to the Consulate to take care of my legal name change so I can get my South African papers updated.

Once that is done, I can hopefully reapply for my UK visa and go home to Scotland. It might take 6 months, it might take a year. The Saffas work on Africa time – it will be done when it’s done.

If the prize is going home, I can be patient. Maybe.

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!
