Inspired By
SCOTLAND
I’m a city girl, born and raised in
Liverpool, home to The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club
and our famous skyline. Noisy,
bustling with friendly people
and doused in maritime history. Although I’m proud of my
city, I’m not a city girl at heart.
I hate noise, crowds and traffic.
I never take advantage of what
my city has to offer...nightlife,
eating out, shopping...it just
doesn’t interest me. Give me
big dark skies full of stars, the
sounds of the sea and countryside wildlife any day of the
week! Fortunately my family
owns a static caravan right on
the shore in Galloway, South
West Scotland. We’re literally
maybe 6 metres from the sea...
when I go to sleep I can hear
the waves lapping the shore
and the rushing of the river
than runs down from the hills
behind us and into the sea. It’s
blissful.
I’ve been travelling up to Scotland for many years now, driving all over Western Scotland,
creativebeadchat.com
as far north as the Isle of Skye.
One time on our way home
from Skye, we were driving
through Glencoe at midnight
and we passed a magnificent
stag with huge antlers standing
by the side of the road, lit up in
the moonlight...that was probably my favourite “Scotland”
moment...but I love exploring...
driving off down little country
lanes, not knowing what I’m
going to see next. We have the
coast and cliffs on one side
and on the other, behind us,
we have Galloway forest with
her rolling hills, valleys and
mountains. I love seeing all
the wildlife...especially on the
drives we take at dusk. Driving
around the country lanes just
after the sun has set brings out
all the hidden wildlife...deer
and fawns, baby foxes, badgers,
rabbits and hares, even the odd
owl!
