Scotland

Right now, I'm sitting in a big conservatory in Inverness, Scotland. I can see the freshly-frozen, ploughed fields in front of the house as the sun gleams in through the windows, and in the distance I can faintly see the Scottish highlands covered in snow. It's the most beautiful sight I've ever seen, and I've seen Dallas at night, which is also incredible. 

Scotland is amazing. All the people are so friendly, the bread is delicious and they do everything properly. The Aga is a dream come true and so is the fire, and it's somewhere I'd absolutely love to live when I'm older. If you step outside, you can't hear a thing, besides the occasional tweeting bird. It's so silent, you could hear a leaf fall to the ground. The house backs on to a forest, which is also frozen too, but it looks so beautiful with the morning blue sky shining through the long and empty trees. It's the most peaceful place I've ever been to in my life, and everyone should put "go to Scotland" on their list of things to do before they die, because it's an experience everyone would love. I felt like I should write a short blog about this because it's an amazing experience and to anyone who has never been to Scotland - get online and book yourself a holiday here! It's beautiful, friendly, and so homely. Even though it got down to (apparently) -10 degrees Celsius last night, I was still so warm and cosy in bed and it was lovely. 

Today we're going to a beach near Loch Ness, and then going to a cafe for lunch. The only downside to Scottish cafes is that they don't have clotted cream, so you can't have a proper Southern Cream Tea (not that I'm a massive fan anyway, but my mum is). Even though this is the sunniest place I've been to in a long time, it's also the coldest. Although today I think it's 2 degrees, which is actually not too bad for here.

When I'm here, I feel like I'm on top of the world. Wherever I look, I feel at home and happy. Even though I don't like flying, I can't help but want to fly up here every single weekend. It's definitely a place I want to live at some point in my life. Like I said before, if you've never been here, you have to. It's the best place in the world. Or it's the best place out of the parts of the world that I've seen, anyway.
