Hello 2015!
And Hello to You here on Journey Jottings 😀
After a wonderful Christmas with family in Scotland, New Years Day was a wild, windy, wet affair wearing Wellington boots for sploshing in puddles!
Come and join me welcome in the New Year…

H–A–P–P–Y N–E–W Y–E–A–R!
What a great idea. Enjoyed your NYD walk, thanks for sharing. Don’t freeze over there. HaPPy New Year.
We’ve had such beautiful hoar frosts here in Scotland it was disappointing that on a day when you want things to be all fresh and new and sparkly it was grey, gloomy and wet!
But maybe being forced into taking a different tack isn’t such a bad new beginning! 😉
That was fun LInda and better yet, I stayed nice and dry while enjoying our fun, wet walk…Happy New years to you!
Thanks so much Noel ~
It was wonderful to get to meet you in person in Athens towards the end of last year –
Where in the world will we cross paths next, I wonder?!
Great video. Have wanted to go to Scotland for years- especially Findhorn. Our son went to school at Glasgow U for a semester and loved it. But I think he majored in single-malt scotch.
Findhorn is fascinating – Especially if you are into creating your own home produce – Do you have a veggie garden Billie?
Scotland is surprisingly large and varied so well worth a visit – although possibly spring or autumn may be better than now in the depths of winter when the days are soooooo short!
Happy New Year to you too. Great video – glad I watched it from the warmth inside my house!
Its funny how when you look out of the window, you think, Oh no – do I have to? (As the dog looks longingly at you!!)
But once all donned up in Wellington boots and macintosh its actually quite invigorating!! 😀
So fun! I don’t know who enjoyed your puddle-jumping more: you, the dog, or me! Happy New Year!
Isn’t it amazing that such a grey gloomy day can put a smile on our faces!
Happy New Year Betsy!:D
Fun way to ring in the new year! Loved seeing it since we didn’t really do much this year.
It didn’t look like too much fun when I peered out of the window into the grey gloom –
But who can’t love the fun of jumping in puddles!! 🙂
You always come up with a new creative surprise~
Good thing you set foot with those Wellington boots and an able partner.
I’ve so enjoyed reading your blog posts.
Best wishes for the New Year!
Thank you so much Irene 🙂
Wishing you the very best of happy travels in 2015!
What a fun way to welcome in the New Year and give your readers an introduction to you as well as a glimpse of some beautiful countryside in Scotland!
Thanks Anita 🙂
Its funny how a gloomy grey day can be a catalyst for creating something different!
Nice job on the is New Year’s wish Linda. You’re great on camera! I love the shot of you walking in the beginning with the reflection of the trees coming in from the side. Lovely to hear your voice too!
Thank you Alison 🙂
I hope to include a little more video this year as it is fun to put a little more life into my posts!
What a treat to splosh along with you on your New Years Day walk! I need to get me some Wellies for next time.
I don’t suppose you’d have too much need for Wellies out in the Phoenix desert!
Even though you needed those trench coats on NY’s eve! 😉
We had gorgeous weather last summer when we visited Scotland and now I wish we would have had the chance to splosh in some wellies with you. When in England, we did walk along with a dog very similar to yours. Thanks for bringing me along on this great adventure in your part of the world.
The beauty of Scotland is the seasonal changes – And the variety of weather patterns –
While it was pouring with rain on NY’s day, the week before we’d had stunningly beautiful hoar frosts 🙂
Happy new year!
And to you Nat 😀
I loved your video! Very well done!! Happy New Year to you too — and your beautiful dog!!
I’m visiting family in Scotland so Tess is the family dog! But I agree she is gorgeous!!
Happy New Year Marilyn – All the very best for 2015
Scotland and Ireland are way up high on my list, would love to visit that part of the world. And I’d love to see Cornwall England as well. I have an online friend who owns a B&B in Cornwall and the country just seems to beautiful!
The countryside of the whole of Great Britain is beautiful and despite the high population, there are many National Parks preserving the best!
If you get a chance to visit your friends in Cornwall (missing the school holidays) I’d jump at it 😀
All the best for your upcoming walk in Spain!
