My caravan holiday in Scotland in poetry

Our friend went home yesterday but left us a poem about his weeks' holiday with us. Here it is:

As I arrived on the Monday night

The sky was clear and the lights were bright

I had left my car and gone by train

Hoping my journey would not be in vain

The first few days were filled with fun

The sky still clear with nothing but sun

We walked along the sandy beach

With a feeling that nothing was out of reach

We wined and dined at our leisure

The Classroom, Dores Inn and Basil, all a pleasure

The food was varied and very fine

We will all return another time

The boats in the harbour do move and sway

Whilst Swans have nested in the bay

They sit on the nest so very proud

'Til nine cygnets arrive all fluffy and loud

Golf was played on courses nearby

With scores, some low, others too high

And afterwards as we sat in the bar

With no concerns except for par

As the week draws to a close

There is some sadness, as everyone knows

The time has come to catch the train

But truly. we will all return again.

Hi There

Must say I am very impressed with the comments left here by Caravan 109 on Nairn and its surrounding areas, hope it does a lot of good for the town and associated businesses. I love Cullen Skink!

I am local, but like to hear about interesting activities not too far from home, so a visit to Chanonry Point and the Black Isle again is moving pretty quickly up my Agenda.

Mind you, Cullen and coastal villages in the other direction are worthy of a day trip too.

I really do appreciate where I live!

Cheers
Gloria
