And lovely again.

Did you see the black sand beach? If memory serves, it's next to a white coral sand beach. Oh, it's been so long.

No, I don't think so. There was so much to see that I didn't have time to see everything. I must go back sometime...

I see you had some typically Scottish weather that day!

The movie One Day is bookended by some rather nice use of the old town and Arthur's Seat even though most of it takes place in London (if you can bear an angsty chick flick in which Anne Hathaway really can't maintain a consistent British accent).

Yeah, that was the only day that happened, apart from a few hours the day before when we were at Loch Ness.

Now I am sure: I have to go sightseeing Scotland!
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Isn't the border country pretty? Did you go on an organized tour? You certainly hit most of the highlights in a very short time.

Next time, though, you might include the Isle of Mull and maybe some of the pretty little fishing villages in Fife... :)
