Van life continues .......

Happy Thursday to you ........

I hope you're all well.

I'm back again, with more updates from our vanlife adventure. 

I can't believe it's June already ....... time flies when you're having fun! 

Today is Day 87 in the van ....... Day 87!!!!!!!!!  and we're still here in the Scottish Highlands, although we are starting to make our way south again, slowly.

At then end of my last post we were getting ready to leave the beautiful Isle of Skye, and what a send off we got .......

even Remi stayed up late to watch the sun go down!

We headed off the following morning, and decided to re-visit the lovely little Caravan & Motorhome club site we'd discovered earlier in the week ......

Morvich is a lovely site, nestled amongst the hills in the Scottish highlands, it's so peaceful.  They even have a fresh fish van that calls every Tuesday so we had to check it out, would have been rude not to I think!

Caught that morning ....... monkfish tail with fresh, still in their shell, prawns ..... yum!

Unfortunately it hasn't all been blue shies and sunshine, far from it, but even with grey clouds and stormy skies this part of the world is just breathtaking .......

Our next destination was Inverness, and our first stop was at a place called Ardtower, not far from the Culloden Battlefield.

Lovely site, great facilities, and most of the pitches had views over the Moray Firth.  The clouds seemed to follow us there ......

very atmospheric in the evening .......

Being an 'Outlander' fan (TV series), Culloden is somewhere I've wanted to go for a while

Quite an eerie place to be .......

We're now just outside the city of Inverness and the weather has not been kind to us.  We've had some sunshine but it's been mainly wind, and rain, and even hailstones yesterday!  Flaming June eh!!!

We have had a few things that we needed to do whilst we've been here, housekeeping (van) stuff mainly, washing etc., so the weather hasn't been too much of a problem.

Hubby needed his regular B12 injection so we had to source how to get that which wasn't too bad, and would you believe ........ he's started a new job!  

Yes, you heard correct, he's working again.  Only part time though for now, and it's only a few hours per week (Monday and Tuesday) and it can all be done from the van so, no need to cut short our trip just yet.  Let's see how things go.

We did manage a lovely walk along the river, over to the Ness Islands.

A collection of natural islands sitting in the middle of the River Ness, connected by lovely Victorian footbridges

 

It's a lovely walk, through the trees, some of which are huge .....

There's plenty of carved benches and places to sit and watch the world go by, and there's even a Nessie sculpture, made from a fallen tree which is quite fun.

Once you're across the islands I think you can walk all the way into the city along the riverbank.  Maybe next time.

 

It's time to start packing up the van again as we're on the move tomorrow, heading further south to Pitlochry.

We've heard from quite a few people we've met on our travels that it's a really lovely place so we're looking forward to getting there.  And with hubby now working two days of the week, we're having to think more about good internet and Wi-Fi signals so fingers crossed it's OK.  Plus we need the internet to stream live coverage of the TT races that are going on back home.  We've been keeping up with all the action, and the delays due to the weather.  It's been making me a little bit homesick to be honest, I miss the island ...... and the family of course!

Thanks for popping by, enjoy the rest of your day.

There's actually a bit of blue sky outside, time for a stroll!

Cheerio until next time .....
