On the way home from our UK summer holidays, we spent the afternoon in the sandstone maze in Luxembourg near the German border and then the night in our usual hotel outside the capital.

with lots of other people

turned into a long distance bike trail – almost another Marathon for Farkas

After three weeks in Scotland, we crossed the invisible – visible border back into England and spent the day in the Yorkshire Dales. With another Steam Train. What a coincidence.

Roadtrip back south across the “border”, with a seaside visit at St Abbs

Upon return to Glasgow, a casual stroll along the water at dusk

Another special flight, this time departing from Glasgow International Airport in a small Twin Otter – the world’s only scheduled flight to land on a tidal beach on Barra Island.

From the falls and the stream in Killin to Falls of Bruar

Roadtrip across the Highlands to Dunblane in variable weather and to some impressive sights.

… and what do you there (after reading up about long queues and impossible parking)? Right, you go there anyway to watch the Jacobite Steam Train roll in, aka the Harry Potter train. And I must say, it is quite impressive and moving, actually.
