scotland (2000, 2010, 2016, 2018, 2022)

A magnificent place of history and mystery! Castles galore, moody moors, stately cathedrals, it's all there waiting for you! My grandfather was born in Kelty, in the Kingdom of Fife, and this country never fails to beckon me to visit. Explore, and be welcome here!

Wales (2010-2019, 2022)

Croeso! Welcome to Wales! A magical realm of lush lands and trees, history and adventure.  I have had the most fun exploring this country, from the south of Cardiff all the way north to Snowdownia and west to the tip of Holyhead.  Wales is a place of many returns, it feels so much like a second home wherever I wander. And to leave it is to experience a pang of 'Hiraeth', a feeling best described as 'longing'. Enjoy what you see!
