Graham Chastney's Blessings

Last week we spent a wonderful week chilling in Silverdale – it’s not far, but it’s a different world.

It was great to spend time with friends away from the normal day to day rush. We did some walking, we did some eating, we even drank some coffee and played board games. There’s something very special about playing a silly board game in a lounge with a roaring fire and laughing uncontrollably at something that isn’t really that funny.

The weather was amazing – on Tuesday we were walking in the snow up to Easdale Tarn; on Wednesday we sat out on the balcony eating lunch in the sunshine.

As a follow-up to my last post; this holiday underlined the start of a new era with Jonathan driving himself there a few days after we left.

We stayed at Wolf House Cottages, it’s right next to an art gallery and a coffee shop, what more could you ask for:

I’ve tweaked the colours on this site a little so that highlights are green rather than blue to differentiate a bit between grahamchastney.com and this blessings site.

But I’m still not sure whether green is a good colour. What do you think?

Last week we spent a few days in western Scotland getting away from it all. We managed to find a great place right on the shores of Loch Awe.

It was really beautiful and a great time of relaxing.

I did some thinking too, but I’ll write about that later.
