Durness-Its my heaven!!!

:)I just wanted to say how much me and my family enjoy coming up to Durness from Glasgow!The scenery is breathtaking,beaches beautiful,people friendly,weather a bit suspect but we LOVE it.There is so much to see considering it is at the back of beyond!We have been going there for the past 4 years.We stay in a caravan in the campsite there.It is family run and they are SO NICE.They treat you like lost friends when we come up and have had to chase them to pay our fees."I,ll get your money tomorrow if youre around". Hows that for trust!!We are coming up again the last weekend in july for 2 weeks and would love to know if there is anyone else going there at that time or have stayed in the campsite.

It is indeed sorghaghtanibeki! You should try the cooked breakfasts!

Also, whisky has been known to cure a cough, if you had one!;)

I love Durness too - it even inspired my fiance to propose! Seafood Platter is an amazing restaurant...

I loved the beach, and the John Lennon garden. Have they had the little festival yet? Fabtastic place. A long way but worth every mile.

Well,if I tell you that a week tomoz - after just four weeks back in Mancunia, we're heading off up to Fort Bill and Morar for a longish weekend.
This weekend we're out on the fens with friends who have a small farm, assuming it's still above water.
Reality sucks. I'm doing all I can to stave it off.
Whithorn in August and Mallaig in September.
Reality from then to Christmas. Actually reality ain't that bad. I've a lovely, if smallish * family, a decent home and garden to tend. It's just work that seems to grate. It's becoming ever more mundane and I resent the time I have to spend there. Perhaps a change of career is called for. Bus Driving in the far north perhaps. Now that I could warm to. (always best to have reasonable aspirations I find)

*from three and a half feet to five two :Razz.

I've got a caravan in bettyhill - I have the same sentiments. It's so peaceful and the locals are lovely - even the two red deer who come to visit every so often.
My daughter and her fiance ate in a hotel, can't remember which, but they only accepteed cash or check neither of which they had.
'No bother,' said the waiter, ' just send it on.'
'Don't you even want our name and address?'
'No need, you have an honest face,'

Trusting or what?
