Ho sempre asserito che il contatto con gli abitanti del posto è quello
che fa la vacanza; che ti da l'opportunità di sentire ed imparare
molto di più della terra che stai visitando, molto più che in
qualsiasi libro; e sicuramente l'incontrare persone così gentili è un
privilegio. Successe anche qui, e non solo..
L'autista del bus era il facchino del precedente (quello perso a
Glasgow) e fu così dispiaciuto per noi che cercò in tutti i modi di
aiutarci nel mentre eravamo in stazione e una volta saliti sul suo bus
arrivati al capolinea ci disse di aspettare che tutti i passeggeri
scendessero..per poi riavviare nuovamente il motore e lasciarci
proprio di fronte alla salitella che portava al nostro b&b...:))!!
Ringraziammo l'omone, fu una grande mano per noi :P :)!..
Il giardino del b&b era così curato in ogni angolo, che
nell'ammirarlo ero sicura ci fosse una mano femminile dietro a tutto
questo, ma... nel suonare alla porta, la persona che ci aprì portava
si una gonna, ma era un lui scozzese dal sorriso smagliante in
completo kilt ....Welcome to Scotland!...:)...
Ciaooo!!

modifiche: solo aggiunto "soft", i colori son davvero così vividi :)!

I always say that the contacts with inhabitants makes the trip; makes
you feel and learn more about the land you are visiting, more than in
all book; and sure meets so kind persons is a priviledge. It happend
also here and not only...
Our busdriver was the porter of the previous bus (the missing one in
Glasgow) and was so sorry for us assisting to the scene, that he
cheerful welcomed us on his bus two hours later and.. arriving at Fort
William tell us to wait all passengers step off ..for turning-on bus'
motor again and leaving us right in front of the slope that goes to
our b&b. :)))!! We thanked the big man, was a big hand for us :P
:)!.
The garden of b&b was so cured in every corner, that in admiring it I was pretty sure that there was a woman's hand behind all that but... after ringing the bell, the person that open us the door was, yes, wearing a skirt, but was a he, a smiling man wearing kilt... Welcome to Scotland!.... :)...
Ciao to all !!

Lovely photo, I like the softness you have added to it! In Britian I think everyone enjoys gardening, men just as much as women! I am always so impressed by all those well kept and beautiful gardens, but public and private gardens. By the way, it is the same kind of flowers that thrive here in southwest-Norway, probably because the climate is so similar.

A gardener with a green thumb, wow!
This is exactly the type of garden I love (and if the gardener wears a kilt -- so much the better ;))
Besos. (immer noch beschäftigt mit der Dekoration, uff).
