at an inn with unbelievable flora (took so many photographs!) and amazing breakfasts, plus sticky buns that are not too ticky but still scrumptious. The third year in a row in New Hampshire, although in different towns, and have been blessed with wonderful weather all three years. It is always the week before the NH Highland Games — which I had attended a few times before these group trips, and also had superb weather. Started going to the Highland Games to do research for Mine To Give, which then turned into the head-over-heels desire into all things Scottish.

Although New Hampshire is mountainous and well-endowed with firs and maples and birches, and who knows what else, the photograph above captures the freedom of driving, the feeling of being on a journey, which is enough for me. Getting somewhere is sometimes as exciting as the destination. I like to travel — to move.
