Well people, Today is the 45th day of being in beautiful country of Scotland...How has time flewn by.
It was summer when I landed , so enjoyed few warm days of sunshine . The first 2 weeks were fun , we just had a bed with mattress and some utensils for cooking. Funny how we manage with bare minimum when we are willing. We bought a pair of sofas and some storage units within a week.
Our air shipment arrived on 15th August and then the house was full with clothes, furnishings and most important my hobby stuff.
My husband's colleague had rented a car in August and they were kind enough to take us around for some sight seeing /short day trips.
Sharing some pics here

I had carried two cross stitch projects with me in luggage and rest of the stuff was sent via Air shipment. The first day I picked up cross stitching was on World Cross Stitch Day. I stitched on a SAL piece I started with a stitcher on Instagram for a Silver Creek Samplers pattern on 1st June.
I loved stitching this as Heart and pink color are my favourite things to stitch. I used Anchor variegated floss for this project.
Next weekend we went to visit the historical town of Culross. It is Scotland's most complete example of a burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries.

I finished the SAL piece on 24th and asked hubby to click some aesthetic pics 😅. I have been foraging thru charity shops for a heart shaped frame to fully finish this.
Another weekend we walked to a historical place in the city. Spotted this sampler there.

That day I walked 8.9 km , so proud of myself.
I realised I stopped sharing pics of my cooking adventures on my blog, so I'm starting that now. New recipes I tried in these weeks -baked brussels sprouts, celery and broccoli soup, stir fried edamame , no pictures were clicked though.
The only one I clicked a picture is baked butternut squash rissoto:
I have started a new project, a DMC kit I will convert to a baby sampler by adding name and date on top and bottom. Lets see how this customisation goes.
Last friday , we rented a car and have been exploring places in 2 hours driving distance. Hope you enjoy the pics.
