Rudders at Home

This is a picture of the ruins of St. Andrew’s cathedral. I’ve been here several times over the last five years, and it happens to be one of my favorite spots in the UK.

Why is it one of my favorite spots, you ask? Well, it just so happens that not only is it a beautiful ruin in a lovely town, but also one of the first places in Scotland I visited way back in December 2002. Oh, and did I mention this is where Paul proposed and I accepted?

St. Andrews is located on Scotland’s east coast in the Kingdom of Fife. I asked Paul innocently enough one time why he wasn’t from the Kingdom of Tay then, and he told me to stop picking and making fun of him. I just don’t understand why he always thinks I’m making fun of him.

In all seriousness, though, St. Andrews is a wonderful place to see if you’re making a trip to Scotland. It’s a lovely town, with a beautiful ruin right next to the sea. I just hope your weather is as good as ours was when I took this photo.

I should also point out that he didn’t propose to me in a cemetery. The actual deed was done to the right of this photo, nearer the cloister of the ruins.

As stated, I want to live here. Doesn’t that look like a nice, peaceful place to be? I wonder if we could get a good deal on it.

Probably not. But I suppose that’s ok – I don’t think I’d like to see this place in winter. Plus there would probably be some sheep thrown in with the bargain and I don’t think I’d like the responsibility of looking after the furry things.

This is a photo I took in Glen Coe last year when my parents were over visiting. We spent a good amount of their holiday enjoying the lovely sites that Scotland offers up, and both my dad and I were camera crazy.

This specifically is one of the Three Sisters in the range there. I don’t know the technicalities of it all. I just like how that tiny house makes the background look so striking and massive.

More pictures from our holiday North (notice the capital “N”) can be here, in the Gallery.

This picture makes me laugh. It’s a picture of me on our trip to Normandy. It was cold. It was windy. I’ve seen bunkers before. You have no idea how many pictures of bunkers I have. I don’t put them ALL in the Gallery.

Doesn’t my hair look good?

Our fifth wedding anniversary was on April 5th, and that was a Saturday this year… So, Paul and I decided to celebrate with an evening out in the countryside. What countryside did we visit? Well, have a lookie here.

Yep, we went to Dover. And don’t worry, I’ll be posting some more about what we actually did. Thought I’d just give you the picture as a bit of a teaser.  😛

Have “younz” seen this yet? No, I don’t think you have.

Check it out.

It’s a picture of Paul at the Alamo, with some guys who were dressed up doing demonstrations. We don’t know what these guys were doing, as Paul just wandered up and asked if we could snap a picture. He feigned no interest in learning anything!
