Flashback: And then Seanan went to GLASGOW.

When last we left our intrepid heroine (me), I was on a plane to Scotland, to visit Amal and Stuart for a week. Basically exactly a week, which was simultaneously a long, long time to go stay with someone I had never stayed with before, and nowhere near long enough to stay with a dear friend in a city I had never visited

Carterha is a real place?!?!?

This fact makes my entire universe a better place to live in.

[seanan_mcguire]

It IS and you can GO there and THE WELL IS REAL OKAY WE WENT TO THE WELL AND WALKED THROUGH A BALLAD AND HOLY CRAP.

I am very glad that my country was good to you. And I hope you get to come back.

I went to the Scottish Owl Centre a few months ago with a couple of friends and it was amazing. We lay on the ground on our backs while an owl flew right over us - so close we felt the wing-tips brush us - in the flying display, then went for a walk in the woods on our own and found a fledgling owl sitting on a tree stump overlooking the river. We thought it was a fake planted by the centre until we got up close!

Hee!

My face is a sunbeam. Yes to all of this yes yes yes. Oh for more visitings! Next time you visit me I'll likely be in OTTAWA and can show you DIFFERENT THINGS but oh man how badly do I want to visit you in your home and meet your mighty floofbeasts!

You are the queen of <3 <3 <3.

Also.

Amal quickly discovered that she could thrust things at me, and that I would then read them. This became a popular party game over the next few days.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME OMG. It was like this fantasy come to life, because I am CONSTANTLY thrusting things at people to read and DESPAIRING of their inability to just OSMOSE them. BUT YOU DO IT. YOU ARE MAGIC.

Oh man speaking of magic YOU AND THE COWS AHHHHH

[seanan_mcguire]

Cows love me, what can I say?

Also beware because when you come to my home OH THE THRUSTING OF THINGS.

[witchchild]

Did they really call it a Pokemon machine though?

oh cheese, cheese and food cooking. Best things in the world.

[seanan_mcguire]

No. But that's its name.

I want to try the death blue; I adore blue cheese, and that sounds amazing. The white wine & grapes one sounds intriguing, as well. One more reason to want to go to Scotland :)

[seanan_mcguire]

Seriously, the cheese is worth the trip.
