I am busy packing and making lists, all very last minute. I am driving to York, staying the night before setting off on the final leg. I hope to at least draw and maybe paint. My inspiration to visit came from some work by Barbara Rae, I love the energy her work has and it took me back to the days when I visited Scotland at least once a year. Even as a teenager I thought it the most beautiful place to be.
Sadly distance, children, lack of sun and cost have stopped me going back, until now. I found this beautiful cottage next to a lovely loch and it seemed the perfect place to be for two weeks. 
I hope you all have an amazing holiday too, I will be back in a couple of weeks but have left you with some sporadic posts in order to clear out my picture file.

Hope you have a lovely time in Scotland, even though there seem to be some "issues" with you mother.
I´ve just come back from a holiday to Scotland, we stayed in a cottage on the Isle of Skye. I, too, think it´s the most beautiful place on earth and wish I could go more often. And I, too, brought my mother (and my husband and kids). It rained and was very windy, but I still feel the impact of my nearly two weeks there.
Before we took the plane back to Stockholm we did some shopping in Glasgow and Edinburgh. And I found myself thinking "this is something that Indigo Alison might wear"! Funnily enough, since I look very different to you – only 5 foot 2 inches and a bit chubby... You seem to have become my new style icon!
I look forward to seeing what you will return with in form of inspiration and perhaps finished paintings!

WOW, hugely flattered and really glad you liked Scotland despite the weather. I consider a day without rain a bonus so fingers crossed. My sister is flying in for a long weekend to dilute Mother! so that one way canoe trip may have to wait....Only joking, I need her to pay for the pub lunches!!!
Have a fabulous time! Just try to ignore Mother as much as possible, or at least get some decent blog posts out of her grousing. . . I'll look forward to seeing the photos
Enjoy my mother country xxx
