So I took a 4 week vacation to Scotland.
Not my first time, I've been to various bits of the UK a half dozen times over the years.

We've been trying to make this particular trip happen for the past three years and it finally happened and, as it turned out, made a nice retirement gift to myself.
I took 1622 images with my good camera, which is going to take a while to edit and process, so I will show in this thread some snaps from the phone.

So, here is life in the First Class cabin of a British Airways 777.
A glass of Glenmorangie whilst watching the blue sky and the clouds drift by...

Very nice.

It’s good to see how one finally makes it to retirement to truly enjoy it.

All those years and literally now at your “pot o’ gold”
