Now our eldest daughter lives on Anglesey we go there more often since we have 3 grandsons there too. Both my brothers live in Scotland and all 3 of us have Scottish wives, so I could be biased, but I tend to agree, after travelling the world for 35 years I have seen nowhere I prefer to Scotland, though I haven?t visited the Andes. OTOH this scenery comes about since it is often wet and rarely hot, which is fine by me, 25C is the hottest I like. Loch Fyne have a restaurant in Oxford and the oysters are fresh daily. Not as good as the restaurant at the head of the Loch but pretty good. Next time you are in Oxford? cheers, Frank > On 4 Sep, 2015, at 23:02, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > > I am posting this from a hotel near Glasgow airport from where I will fly > home tomorrow morning after spending several days here, attending a > conference.
