When it rains...Have some whisky!

Yesterday, my friend Kate and I decided to go on a day trip. Unfortunately for us, it was pouring rain and VERY windy. Unfortunately, for Kate, I didn't care. We bundled up and hit the road. First stop: Glendronach Distillery (pronounced "Glen-drawn-uk"). I didn't take many pictures because I have been there (blog link), but this time I got to do something new! I bottled and signed my own whisky. It's yummy!

 Next stop: Huntly Castle

 This is just the entrance, which I think might be part of the school now?

 We didn't go in because the rain and high winds would have made it slippery and unpleasant. At least we got to see the castle. :)

 eeek!! Cold! Wet! hehe :)

If you let the weather in Scotland keep you in the house, you may never leave home. Bundle up and get going!

GlenDronach Distillery and More Highland Cows!

Well, I have to say that the GlenDronach Distillery tour was marvelous! Our tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable. The whiskey was yummy! When we got there, there was a previous tour group that was taking their time walking around before ending with their tasting. They were sitting outside chatting. The tour guide asked if we'd like to just begin with the tasting instead of end with it. Since I was driving, I definitely liked that idea!

Man, I love this new camera!

Yes, we got to taste whiskey from that!

Aren't they precious?

Nobody ever sees who is behind the camera. I decided to change that.

The stills

This is were they test the quality of the whisky, by hand.

Whiskey barrels! 

And now, for your viewing pleasure, more highland cows (out by Balvenie Castle!).

I got to feed one!!

"Bllaaahh"

I really like these two pictures; the ones above and below.

I like this picture because it looks like she is charging me, but really I just caught her mid-stride as she was walking.. hehe

This is a great place to stop for a photo!! Minus the rubbish....

FYI - NOT photo shopped in any way. Scotland is beautiful. You can click on it to enlarge the photo.

And to end a lovely day... a lovely kiss from a lovely man. I love you sweet husband.
