Split life - my croft in the Highlands & work in Edinburgh. Nature, wildlife, gardening, knitting, books & Scotch Whisky are passions. All views are my own.

Very Grumpy with @LoveWilko! Waited 2 months for a shed to be delivered only to be told when it didn't arrive that they don't deliver to my address - terrible customer service, no warning on checkout, no way to talk to a human to find out what's going on. Never using them again!

Doors Open Day in Edinburgh. The Burns Monument - what a cool wee thing. I always used to walk past this on the way to work, meant to go in, then it become closed. Great opportunity to finally get peak in here :-)

Breakfast in Portree this morning at Cafe Arriba. Love this place, always have something different for breaking- today a chilli/cheese scone with breed and sausage. Yum!

Had a wee day out at the Dornoch Fibre Fest. Great fun! Feels like things are getting back to normal again 😁 #feedingthewoolhabit #wool #fibre #dornoch #nicedayout

Great day out at the Dalmunach Distillery with @littlegrumpyG talking #sustainablescotch as part of @ScotchWhiskySWA #CountdownToCop. With @COP26 just 100 days away, #scotchwhisky is making great strides in sustainability #RaceToZero

@Chairman_Bored Hiya, the chargers in both Ullapool and Gairloch were empty when I charged. The free fast charger in Ullapool does not seem to be working so you will have to use the one you pay for at the Harbour. You have to pay for a charge from the machine in Gairloch too.

[Dawn Bellamy @DawnInTheNorth]

Stage 4 complete - Ullapool to Gairloch, with a stop overnight in Gruinard Bay camping with friends. At 59 miles I felt like this is really stretching my 24kwh range but due to the ups and downs of the route I came into Gairloch with 19% power #EV #roadTrip #NC500

Stage 3 of today's #EV #roadTrip - Dingwall to Ullapool. Having to use the Harbour charger today as the other (free) charger is not working :-(

[Dawn Bellamy @DawnInTheNorth]

Road trip Stage 2 - in Dingwall. Good facilties (free toilet and free charging), will have to go see the signs pictured below another day. Good to see a seco d charger being commission here, think its needed... in a queue!

[Dawn Bellamy @DawnInTheNorth]

Off on a road trip today to the West Coast. Stage 1 Helmsdale to Dornoch. Its a lovely wee village and the busiest I have seen it since I moved North.

@remaining_amiss We are having a heatwave in the highlands just now. It's blue skies and dinner outside for me tonight. Hope it's gets better around Edinburgh soon 😉

@remaining_amiss I think she is doing a great job! ❤️ So cute!

Dalwhinnie is now my favourite #EV charging spot. Not only does it make my journey possible but the first time I have been here when it's light and found a horse, goat, ducks and a goose 😍

Had an amazing time @fifewhiskyfest tasting and smelling so many #scotchwhisky drams I had not tried before #slainte
