In less than a month's time we will be making the long journey up to Scotland for a week's relaxing escape in a very sweet looking little cottage near Lockerbie.
Inspired by a suggestion from Unique Cottages (through which we booked our trip), we will be blogging throughout our week long rural retreat with details and pictures of the cottage, the local landscape (which looks to be stunning) and our day trips. I'm sure there'll be plenty of book reviews too...
Ever being the organiser (well, Emma is) we're already getting started on mix tapes for the journey, shopping lists, recipe ideas, day trip plans and asking for recommendations for reading materials (do you have any?!)!
The cottage appears to have a lovely little kitchen and dining room so we're thinking of using the time to undertake a Masterchef style challenge with each of us taking on the cooking duties on alternative meals and days with different geographical themes. Nial's already a great cook but Emma still has a lot to learn so it should be rather interesting... We will post details of each of these cooking attempts so you can judge them for yourselves!
It's our first cottage break and we're really looking forward to it. I hope you enjoy reading about it too. Who knows it might inspire you to have your own rural retreat?
