I suppose just being in Scotland made me feel pretty good.<br /><br />It does sound pretty primitive in 1150 doesn't it? It was a very hard life I'm sure, considering how harsh the weather can be on the islands. The wind off the sea is fierce at times. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!Vonda Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680397260476850190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-23330676723758966162013-06-04T14:03:20.696-04:002013-06-04T14:03:20.696-04:00Sorry to hear about being sick then.

I would have had to send my DH out to take pics too, so I could browse the souvenir shop. :-)<br /><br />It'd be hard to write a romance in that 1150 time period there. It sounds so primitive. <br /><br /> I got lost in the history and pictures, so I feel like I've been there now. How incredible!<br /><br /><br /><br />Julie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-12677531535601275402013-06-01T22:38:18.896-04:002013-06-01T22:38:18.896-04:00Thank you, Brenda and Jennifer!

I don't know if I should look at your beautiful photos or not because you know it makes that driving force to return to the homeland stronger with each one of your posts.
