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...

A tall glass of Strongbow cider to start lunch with, in West Linton, on the way to Edinburgh.
