This weekend I went up to Scotland with my friend Danielle. I took the train to meet Danielle in Milton Keynes- where she lives- and then we drove up to East Kilbride with her dad. I hadn’t done this drive in a really long time, but I promise you that boring endless highway looks exactly the same in any continent. There are some lovely views in Scotland, especially of the hills, but by the time we hit Scotland it was dark. So no lovely lush, green, hilly pictures for you. But I did manage to snap a couple of pictures of the beautiful sunset.

I basically spent my weekend being a lazy bum, eating everything put in front of me and then promptly falling asleep. I did go up to the town centre in East Kilbride on Sunday to see Danielle’s cousin and daughter perform with their cheerleading troop. Who would have thought that I would travel so far from Texas only to be faced with cheerleading performances. It was interesting, and a valiant effort. Though still a teeny bit ridiculous.

And, at the beginning of my adventures, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Peaches. Peaches will be posing for my pictures while I’m here in London because I’m all on my lonesome. Here’s Peaches waiting for the plane in Dallas…

And here’s Peaches enjoying some much needed sleep on the plane…

And Peaches enjoying the tiny Coke served to her while flying over the Atlantic Ocean…

After a brutal 9 hour flight, Peaches and I arrived at Heathrow airport. And all of my luggage was there too!

When I discovered the trains were not running into Heathrow today, we had to use Plan b and jump in a taxi.

But after all that, we arrived safely to our final destination. Highgate!
