Planning the Escape

[Monday 16th July]
Well, a holiday.

I'm not exactly sure how the idea started now, but recently we decided to go and spend a week in Scotland. Part of the reason was that Vera would really like to go up to Edinburgh, and visit North Berwick again - the village where her mother was from. Also I thought now that I'm back in the UK, I could finally go and visit the island where most of my favourite whiskies are made - Islay. I'd very much like to retrace at least some of the steps of Alfred Barnard.

So the idea is to spend the first few days in Edinurgh, and then hire a car from there and drive over to Islay.

Today I got the first bit booked - the accomodation in Edinburgh. We're going to stay in one of the Whisky Society's flats, which look rather nice.

Other than that nothing much to report today.
