Thank you, Scotland!

Dear Scotland, 

I have been complaining a lot about your weather and the various inconveniences I have encountered since arriving, so I thought I would take a wee moment to tell you what I love about you. Here I go!

Thank you for heaters in the bathroom! I don't freeze when I get out of the shower, and that is a wonderful thing!

Thank you for serving tea, coffee, and biscuits everywhere I go! I love the cozy atmosphere you set. It helps with the weather blues.

Thank you for humor. So many of my new friends (who call you home) look at life's ups and downs and know how to laugh in the midst of them. I like that about you.

Thank you for exercise that is built into the lifestyle here. Though I am exhausted at the end of each day, I am thankful for your butt-kicking hills and the fact that we are car-less.

Thank you for free admission to museums and other historical venues. It gives this mama something to do!

Thank you for mum groups- I have so many to choose from!

And finally, thank you for giving my family and I a year to experience something new. Sure, it's different and sometimes challenging, but I know we will look back and smile at getting to spend so much time with you.

So, thanks, dear friend. We are almost halfway through our time with you, and I thought this was a good time to tell you I am a fan of yours (most of the time).

Sincerely,
Shelby
