    Aw how sweet was this. Lovely meeting your parents. And that adorable little furbaby, looks like either a Lhasa or Shiztu. We have two Shiztus. I spy a lighthouse painting on the wall @ 4:10!! What a cool place. My goodness Scotland, is there a limit to your splendor? I hope you and your families have a wonderful, safe, joyous Christmas! 😁❤🎄

    Nope - as one who normally has Christmas sorted and posted by First Advent - I sent out a panic electronic 'one message fits all' and self-designed greetings image yesterday. I know many folk having the same reaction this year and I put it down to side-effects of 'that lurgy'.
    The A82 can be an absolute nightmare to drive and I have been 'buzzed' many times by those who think they know the road better than me... only for me to catch up with them a little later as they get stuck behind a truck or bus taking it sensibly...or the lights at one of the interminable road works!
    What a delight to see your parents and those wonderful views... Argyll rocks. Not that I am biased or anything... YAM xx

      We are all a bit fatigued these days haha Ive only just sorted my presents now 😂Its crazy how busy the road is for how tiny it is! I am glad they are working to expand it a bit. Haha it was a pleasure as always to have you along 😁 Merry Christmas!

    Loved this one for lots of reasons...re living our trip there this October....you were luckier than us with the weather but we loved the hot tub even in a downpour.... my hubby enjoyed a whisky in the hot tub under a brolly! That road is really winding, had my heart in my mouth driving back to the park in the dark...all good fun 😉 Fab vlog and lovely to see you enjoying a bit of luxury with your parents. X
