May In Review {2025}

 Colourful clothes drying on a washing line


Dear friends.  I wasn't going to publish a review this month because I've already written about our 2 week cycling holiday.  But I realised I could still provide my usual daily account as I didn't describe the holiday day-by-day, and still have lots of unused photos. Plus we have a new kitchen! Above: my colourful washing line after returning from holiday.

Cycling Adventures in Scotland

Dear friends. We're back from an amazing fortnight in Scotland.  We completed 2 cycling routes, the Hebridean Way and the Caledonian Way. Total mileage was around 450 miles (724 km). The weather was extremely kind to us, and there were no midges. 

As with our epic journey last year from Land's End to John O'Groats,  we went with specialists Saddle Skedaddle. The two tours were fully guided and our bags transferred to the accommodation each day. Below: the trailer of bikes on its way to the first ferry.
