I’m just back from the most loving little holiday. Shaun and I did some beautiful hiking around the Arrochar Alps this weekend. My head is clear, my smile is smily, and I am feeling fresh and calm and happy for my first day of work tomorrow. While I love the art and culture that city living gives me such easy access to, the open, sweet smelling wild is the place where my heart lives.

Bassetbottom asks: “have you been to The Mackintosh House in Glasgow?”
Chicagoartgirl23 answers: I have! And I’m glad you have too. The Hunterian Art Gallery and the Mackintosh house were the first spot of culture I took in when we first moved here. It was a double dose of the Glasgow Style, too, because at the time, the Hunterian’s main exhibtion, entitled Doves and Dreams, highlighted work by Renee Mackintosh’s wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. Also, the one treat that came out of my weird job interview with City Council was that the interview was held in Martyrs’ School, a Mackintosh creation that is not usually open to the public. Fun stuff.

I think my heart feels more alive hiking in the wilderness, facing large bodies of water or in Canada. But then I also have yet to see Scotland, and I think I would really love it.
Those are great photos. And some romance to start it off! I’d have to agree with you too. There is some kind of connection with nature that I crave. It is calming and invariably inspiring.Now, I have to read the Loch Ness blog and not just look at the pictures. I am behind over there.
Now I’m jealous. The Martyr’s School is very handsome. I don’t know what the zeitgeist was when Mack and Wright were doing their respective things, but I just love the style.
I’ll go over to the blog. I have no idea where my heart lives. Can I be sappy and say Heaven?Lynn
