Just back from Scotland - had to take the dust covers off the furniture in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. It's always good to make your home looked lived in, even if you're not there much of the time.

I must confess, I LOVE Scotland! I love it so much that we have another place there, maybe you're heard of it? Balmoral Castle?

At Holyroodhouse, we had a reception, held Investitures and had quite a Garden Party. My dogs are definately barking now!

Here are some photos of my week there.
