Celebrating an epiphany of Blogging



I’ve been going through a bit of a Blogging epiphany recently.  And the decision is, to try a return to Blogger Blogging, don’t really know what I’ll be blogging about but sure it will come to me when the time is right. I’m going to aim for about one per week and see how it goes from there.
So……where to start?
Well last year was supposed to be my full time painting year and I guess that went OK. I did every thing I planned to do plus I’m now posting all of my work on a FB page (link at bottom of the page). The only tiny regret I have about last year is that, despite doing every thing I planned, I failed to make sales. But I had a great time and I guess that’s far more important than sales.
The general plan for this year was supposed to be; put the painting on a back burner and concentrate on travel. A plan which at the moment; isn’t looking hopeful. Last year I had a quite few unexpected household expenses leaving finances for travel sadly depleted. Anyway, as this was supposed to be my year of travel I thought I could kick start it with a brief look back at some of day  trips I took on the bus  last year.  
To start with a little look at the Fife coast line and a few of the small towns

Anstruther, Harbour town in Fife



Crail, Harbour town in Fife



Pitterween, Harbour town in Fife






St Monans, Harbour town in Fife



Going west to Ayrshire we have Oban which sits on the Atlantic coast and is the gateway to many of the Western Isles.




And looking inland we have Pitlochry 




and Callander.




Then continuing  North along the coastline to Aberdeen, 




and finally, continuing north past Aberdeen  to  Inverness




Next time I'll share some of places a little nearer to home. I'm lucky to live here on the east Coast of Scotland

finally, and as promised, my FB page where I show all of my paintings.
