I guess there shouldn’t be big expectations of me blogging a lot on my honeymoon, but I should at least let you know what is happening & that we arrived safely.
Our expectations were that we were going to be pretty hammered by the jetlag, but we have both been feeling pretty good and are on top of it. The fact that we didn’t sleep too well coming up to the wedding itself probably helped us acclimatise.
My expectation was that Shona & I would be eating lots of Pub meals while we are here. This has been largely true, but a couple of nights ago, Shona & I got to go & eat at one of the fanciest restaurants in Edinburgh thanks to Cate, Dan, Eliot, N8, Amy & Kirty! Man, it was fantastic food & I got to eat Venison, so that was really exciting. Certainly unexpected & a lovely thing to do.
My expectation for the weekend was that I would be hanging out and spending quality time with Tim & Maret (Shona’s Bro-in-Law & Sister), but yesterday, they took us out on a drive & we got to visit “Campbell Castle”, which I hadn’t been to (Don’t confuse it with Inverary Castle, home of the Head of the Campbell Clan) & it was really fantastic. A dramatic position on the top of a steep ravine, a beautiful castle & awesome grounds.
I don’t know what to expect over the next week. We pick up a car tomorrow morning & then head off into the highlands. It should be a great time & I hope to get some lovely pictures too. Whatever happens, even if we get a lot of the rain that we have avoided for the most part so far, I expect it will exceed expectations!
