But Tony, I thought I might be one of them... :mrgreen:

Buzz... I was thinking about what they call coo-sheds here... (steadings) ... found one that's circa 60 feet long... 8)

Just an update Gents (and Ladies), and will post a couple of pics later...

Firstly, had an interview and got a job... circa 3 months in (Xmas ish) will be on nearly the same basic as I'm getting in London, and will be further trained on fire-alarm systems... apparently I'm rather a rare beastie up here...
The new Boss is an Islander too, and it turns out he gave one of my cousins his first job...! real small world stuff...

Keeping them crossed that we get the rental we want or we're (potentially) somewhat screwed...

Presently stuck at Inverness airport with a broken-down Squeezyjet (ASI failure) and waiting for the part to come up from Luton (base north of London) - we should have been home by now... best revised EDT is 1300...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

There will be some problems anywhere, but there is an indefinable magic about being in a Celtic country.  If it were me, I'd immerse myself in it. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

Good luck on getting that rental, and so glad you got the job so soon. Uprooting is never easy.

All good to hear!

Good luck with the adventure.  We've lived in our home for 18 years this past June and I can't imagine getting ready for a move, especially with 2000+ vinyl records.  :thumbsup:

This is the look of despair... my favourite distillery, and a shelf of 12, 15, and 18YO, and no means of transporting a bottle back on the plane...


I'm not posting anything about the place until it's confirmed but off in the distance, beyond the bridge, up on a hill, overlooking that bay... ;)

Just had it confirmed that our preferred choice for a temporary Highland residence is ours so it's time to say goodbye to the shed, goodbye to Surrey, goodbye to England and all that jazz... er... no, maybe I'll take the Jazz with me... ;)



Yes indeed, I think it's circa 2.5 miles/4km to the Distillery noted in the picture above, and our outlook from the hill is quite pleasant... The Beauly Firth and the Kessock Bridge is top right in the pic... behind us is woodland... and maybe... only maybe... Sciurus Vulgaris... :mrgreen:

Back at work on Wednesday and handing back the car etc on Friday... new job starts 11th October, confirmed... they have been very easy going about it and had given me a free reign as to a start date... 8)
