Sorry, everyone!

Sorry, everyone!

Sorry, everyone!

Y'know what? Last day before I left, I was super busy typing up goodbyes and vacation notices on other websites, plus packing and greeting the guy that was gonna dog-sit and doing all sorts of last-minute things, that I completely forgot to let y'all know I was leaving. And by the time I remembered, I was in a hotel in Edinburg with only a cell phone that can't do anything properly and a dead, horrible Kindle.

Anyway, enough with excuses. I WENT TO SCOTLAND! For eleven days. Seven of those were spent hiking sixty-two miles from Melrose to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne (otherwise known as St. Cuthburt's Way). It was a lot of fun, absolutely gorgeous, and I really enjoyed myself. 

Anyway! What have you all been up to? Anything important that I missed? New people coming, old people leaving, big new threads? Fill me in!

It most certainly was! Here's one of my favorites of the pictures I took.

Wow! Scotland? Cool! 

Yes, I did wonder where you went. But now you're back. Yay.

Uh...were you still here when CL left? If not, she (and her amazing Æs) left. *Sob*

Oh, good! Someone did notice. xD  (though admittedly I mostly stalk nowadays anyway.)

She did?! I don't think I remember seeing that! That's horrible!

I will most certainly say something in the Hotel Alterium! I'm just hoping more people can get posts in before we move on.

Welcome back, St. Owl! Wow...I've always wanted to go to Scotland (And half of Europe)! I bet that was totally amazing!!

Haha, same with me! Going to Scotland (and Ireland, earlier this year) was a dream come true. You should have hidden in my suitcase. ;)

Hey St. Owl, I'm back. How have you been? I can't believe you went on a seven day hiking trip. That sounds amazing.

I've been great! I really feel like I accomplished something with that hike. It was absolutely wonderful.

Nice! Did you, at any point, wear a kilt and/or feel a strange urge to play bagpipes?

I did not personally wear a kilt, but I saw quite a few people who were. And, may I just say, playing recordings of bagpipes is a crime against humanity. I wanted to smash the speakers doing it. (and give one of the shop's clerks a pair of bagpipes. I, personally, had to resist the incredible urge that is making such beautiful music.)
