Been a while since my last post - no excuse, but work seems to have taken over any possibility of 'down time' of late. Between the B&B, our self catering and my other job as executive director of Destination Loch Ness Fiona and I have been kept more than busy. However, ironically it was work that reminded me recently why we just love living here on the shores of Loch Ness. I did an interview for the Guardian newspaper ( 21st June, 'The Beauty of Scotland' supplement) which was essentially about why I think living up here is so good and in a nutshell it because we have the best of both worlds - we live in a quiet, tranquil area of outstanding natural beauty and yet we are only 25 mins from the centre of Inverness, a city packed with excellent restaurants and plenty live music! And , as I said in the article, where else in the UK can you be 15 minutes from a city centre and be watching dolphins swimming off the shore ? ( in the Moray Firth ) So no matter how busy things can be at times Fiona and I certainly have no intentions of leaving the area at any time in the future...
