I found myself saying this phrase quite a bit over the last few days during Christy’s visit to Scotland. After all these months it still amazes me just how close everything really is.
We managed to cover quite a bit in only a few days – a historical and pub tour of Glasgow, Pollok Park (featuring those Heilan Coos), Edinburgh in pre-Fringe Festival buzz mode, a partial climb up Ben Arthur (also known as The Cobbler) and a pint in a small pub on the shores of Loch Lomond in the town of Arrochar. Christy also managed a day trip to Arran and another to Fort William and Mull, very impressively covering large parts of Scotland in a mere 5 days. We also managed to get through 9 episodes of The Office which possibly gets funnier the more I watch it. It was great to see Christy again, and I look forward to our Green Room/Dance Cave/Insomnia Friday night out in Toronto this December.
Up next on the visitor front will be Steve and Rachel, making their return trip this year. This time we’ll be heading out of the city for a trip through the Highlands which undoubtedly will involve consumption of a large quantity of cider.
