Loving UK ~ travel update


Anne Hathaway's Cottage

We've got good wifi connection tonight and it's free, so thought I'd post a few photos of our UK trip. Being here is still quite surreal ... it's historical and photography porn, seriously can't get enough and I already want to return with Mike.



 Chatsworth House ~ home of dear Mr Darcy


York Minster ... absolutely stunning. Climbed the 275 stairs, most physically exhausting thing I've done in a very long time but view was spectacular. It was also spectacularly cold!


Fountains Abbey ... such a beautiful, spiritual place.
I could have spent all day here, a favourite of the trip so far


Fountains Abbey was founded in 1132 and operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.





beautiful Melrose Abbey ~ burial place of Robert the Bruce's heart



Wallace Monument ~ Stirling


Culloden Battlefield ~ what a haunting, emotional experience, it will stay with me forever. 1500 Jacobites and 50 loyalist troops died on 16th April 1746


 Dunrobin Castle, Golspie ... straight out of a fairytale


 Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness, Drumnadrochit 


Eilean Donan Castle. Bucket list ... woohoo!!  So excited to finally visit, sadly the castle was closed but still got some beautiful photos.


the stunning clifftop Mealt waterfall at Kilt Rock, Isle of Skye ... staying in Portree. Coldest, rainiest days so far. Froze our asses off here but so worth it!



'til next time xx

  6. I am so envious of you three. 💚 all the updates on FB has made it very solid in my mind that a UK trip is order for me and hopefully in the next five years. Your photos, Sheree, are something else...oh my...breathtaking, stunning, beautiful. I feel as if you should make a coffebook type photo album; a treasure. I am glad that you three are having so much fun; great memories you guys are making.
