Hello, it has been a while but we have been very busy with one thing or another. We have had the decorator in to do the lounge and as my stairs are open plan that means going all the way up with the decorating the top hallway included, so you can see it is a big job. Stuart is not able now to do these things like he used to so we have to get someone in to do it for us, it does make things very expensive but since we both don’t smoke now we don’t need to have it done as often as we used to.
By Wednesday last week it was such a lovely day and the house was back to normal we thought we would have one of our ‘Grand Days Out’. It was a beautiful November day blue sky and sunshine all the way. We first went over to Gleneagles and the views from the top were spectacular with the snow on the mountains in the distance.
Looking down Gleneagles.
This is the famous Gleneagles Hotel and golf course home of the Ryder Cup in 2014.
After our run down the lovely glen we had morning coffee in Crieff. Onward and forward after our refreshment we travelled up The Sma Glen where snow was lying at the side of the road we thought this was very early this year.

Loved the way the sun was lighting up the Larch trees.
Someone left this little guy behind he looked a bit lonely.
As you can see we had a great day weather wise and the scenery was great too. It was great to get away from the smell of paint especially as I have a bad cold just now. Till next time take care. Love
Joan.

Oh my, you have had snow there. Your pictures are just beautiful and I'm glad you had the opportunity to get out and enjoy it all. I've been out but to the south for a trip of a very different kind. Now back home it is cold but no snow here yet.
Wonderful pictures Jan. Scotland must be beautiful. Like looking at snow, but don''t want to be anywhere near it.
Joan your pictures are just lovely ~ Scotland is such a beautiful place ~
