Not even a week back from the beautiful landscapes, views and adventures we had in Scotland. We landed into the reality of having no work and no money. The last couple days in Scotland were adventurous, windy (very windy) and we explored new things. The weather at the end changed into perfect spring; less wind, …

Winter storms
āI think my eyelashes are frozenā. One eye open, one eye squeezed close Dennis looks at me. His eyebrows are clutted with ice and snow. His eyelashes donāt look much better. āCanāt you wipe it off?ā I ask him. With a difficult face he looks at me. āNo, I think, watching him, wiping it off …

Scottish mixed
We’re standing somewhere on our way to Fort William. Lunch, small car repairs, re-sorting out climbing gear. A woman walks by and says she wants to take a picture. I look behind our car and see a small version of our campervan. We hop out and take a look at the blue car called Victor. …

Weak week > strong
Friday – travel “No, your car is too big for a normal parking place so you’ll have to pay ā¬4,50 instead of ā¬3,00 per day”. Our car is actually smaller and shorter then a modern T5, station or other larger car. It only looks bigger because of the campervan-box on the back. We refused to …

Tompoes
Our Tompoes of today I like to bake. And I like it way too much. I’d probably really skinny if I’d skip the baking hobby. And today, restday, we (Dennis and I) made Tompoes. Dennis told me he’d once a week go to the HEMA with his pocket money (the money he got from …
