Hi Jan, that picture has to be of one of the most amazingly stunning views in Scotland. Looking through our files, I have just confirmed that it is Plockton which my husband visited twice, once with his Mum and once with me. On both occasions, there was lovely mist swirling round the hills and across the sea. A lovely sight. Thank you, Sue
Hi Sue, so sorry not to have responded sooner. It is indeed Plockton, one of the most beautiful places I know. I’m so glad it brought back good memories.
Oh the comments about Scotland and Plockton drew me in and back to this post.
Jan, I can’t help smiling at the quote – it is in our idleness that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top
Hi Joanna, yes, a wry smile from me! It is so true and yet so hard to accept. One of my friends calls it ‘being in process’, I’ve tended to see it as being lazy, or sluggish. The submerged truth has certainly been squeezing through of late, though.
