A journey with no steps at all...

[frivol]

I have spent the weekend on a trip from South Wales to the Orkneys, via Lindisfarne and Hadrian's Wall, Eilean Donan, St Magnus Cathedral, the Italian Chapel and the Ring of Brodgar. And all without leaving the house. In other words, I watched Oliver's Travels all over again. It stars Alan Bates, Sinéad Cusack, and Bill Paterson, and some other

Eilean Donan made me cry! We were driving around the winding Scottish roads turned a bend and wham! There in front of us was this most amazing castle. The brakes went on and we just got out of the car and stared. Luckily it was a VERY quiet road.

It is almost dreamlike, isn't it? I haven't seen it 'in person' but I knew I knew it, if that makes sense. It's a lovely show. I was watching the road signs as they headed north, and I just had to go in search of a location guide.

And Scotland is all organised as regards Oliver's Travel's; but the locations I really hanker after are Lindisfarne and Hadrian's Wall, I confess. And Mollie Sugden making me 'a plate of cholesterol' for breakfast. Which of course will NEVER happen. :)

Lindisfarne is one of my bliss places. Hadrian's wall is in my home territory too - planning a fic based around the building of the wall :D

Hehe, my mam does a pretty good cholesterol plate ;)

You have all the bases covered!
Will there be any characters in this fic that we might recognise?

Mmmm, cholesterol. So wrong, yet so tasty!

I hope you enjoy it. I think it's just lovely!

Please report back when you've watched it. :)

K took us to HP, and it did go by quickly, without any attention to what time it was, I enjoyed it!!

I'm glad! Yes, I know it's been criticised for various reasons, and it's left a fair bit out, and changed things around from the book. But it was an entertaining film, and when said film runs at around 150 minutes, that's GOT to be good!
