Snow at last

I know.. Pick the tourist.. Its all very exciting here as its officially snowing.. And best of all its now laying on the ground. 

Our first photos are of the morning as it started. Sadly it turned to slush and mud during  the day but now into the evening, flurries of snow has settled and its beginning to lay. Its pretty cold so the ground will stay frozen to let the snow stay. 

Driving along the little roads was like going through a fairytale with the stone walls all frosted and sprinkled over with snow. 

The kids are bursting with excitement for tomorrow.. So lets just hope the snow continues! 

Struan.. Making a Scottish bread

We are so lucky here in our HelpX job in Scotland. Conner is a gifted baker who has a passion for good quality ingredients and loves to share his knowledge. 

Todays project was "Straun" an Scottish bread made from different grains and has a malty, sweet flavour. Another upside for it, is that it doesn't need to be kneaded - but rather throw together like a mudpie, so you can imagine that that peeps had a wonderful time with it. 

Home made bread is just so good.. thickly slathered with salted creamy butter.. Thats me!  I am foodie heaven here. 

Our first Radio Interview as a travelling family

In Early October this year, I was interviewed by Eric Hemingway from Family Adventures.   They are a family who promote and encourage other families to go out and travel - through their interviews and blogs.

I was pretty excited - and nervous too, having to go through the events which brought us to our travels.

its about 50 mins long - so grab a cuppa.  I've never been in love with my voice and I now know why I much prefer to 'speak' through my writing.. no ummmmms... and no accent...sigh.. annny whoooo..

Enjoy!
