Tange · 21st November, 2008

I have faith in you RC I KNOW you can do it.

SweetFannyAdams · 21st November, 2008

Gorgeous photos, BL! When are you planning to move back over there?

laststraw · 21st November, 2008

Beautiful pics BL and you look great. Very good publicity for Nor Cal too. I'd never realised it was so different to SC.

Blonde Logic · 21st November, 2008

ach! the difference between nor cal and so cal is boundless.

Personaly - I HATE southern california. With the exception of a few nice places (San Diego, Santa Barbara, Del Mar are a few) I never go south unless I absolutely HAVE to.

There are a lot of Californians that would just as soon see the state split into two, as we are completely different animals.

To ANYONE who thinks a trip to Hollywood or Los Angeles is worth te time - please rethink it. Its the armpit of California. HORRIBLE place.

Norcal - beautiful, spacious, clean....just wonderful.

Thanks for the compliment LS.

Sorry I didnt check back on this. I live 25 miles north of Inverness, I spent every summer at sports school in Ullapool. Its lovely there.

dietingqueen · 21st November, 2008

hey hun. just seen your pics, the scenery is amazing.... Thansk for sharing

Blonde Logic · 23rd November, 2008

Thanks DQ.

Ems, I loved Ullapool and all the surrounding areas. That kind of space and re moteness is just what I am used to - not the fishbowl lifestyle I have down here.

I miss my space, I miss my trees, I miss uncrowded roads.

We went thru the highlands in DEcember 05 I think, and we drove all the backroads and such, and we drove a day and a half without barely seeing a soul. HEAVEN! You are lucky to live up there. Inverness seemed quite a nice sity as well, though saw very very little of it.

And RC - will make sure there is plenty of room in our bags next time. You'll only need a little space.

Blonde Logic · 23rd November, 2008

I have just added more photos to the album if anyone is interested....mostly "people pics" as opposed to Scenery! Phew - its a task going through all the photos!! lol - with the invention of digicams, my clicking fingers never stop!!

Enjoy!!

thisisit · 23rd November, 2008

Wonderful pictures and snap shots of your new life in U.S.A.
How wonderful to have such a real touchable vision and goal,so happy for you .

Kaalin · 23rd November, 2008

Looks like you had a lovely time. Gorgeous place out there, the colours in those photograph are so vibrant

Welcome back anyway!

Blonde Logic · 24th November, 2008

Ha Kaalin!! Nice to see you! It was so beautiful - really a surprise to see so much colour - the East Coast is generally the side of the country that gets really good fall colour, but I felt like we were on par with them this year!!

Hows WW goin love? Sounds like you are doing great!!! Missing you on the RTM side of things though, but happy to hear you are getting on well!

Take care!
xx

Kaalin · 24th November, 2008

The colours are much more colourful than here in the bleak mid-winter (or at least that's how it feels!). It must be the best time of year to go there

Yeah sorry not been around much, life is being very hectic at the moment with work, future weddings and xmas!! I haven't got time to draw breath. I seem to have found a healthy balance that is working very well at the moment despite the busyness. I've got a gorgeous size 10 dress for my brother-in-laws wedding in a couple of weeks and i'm having my hair put up (I was always too self-concious of my massive face and many chins before!) and make up done - because I can!! There is lots of family coming over that I haven't seen since I have lost weight. I know it's not my day, but I feel like after not seeing them since it'll be like Extreme makeover and my grand reveal

Must be the same way you felt seeing your family

It's true...nothing tastes as good as this feels!!!

MandyLupton · 24th November, 2008

Kaalin, just looked at your piccies, you've done brilliantly well done!!
