Wolf on the Loch
Easter, our now ritualistic journey to Glasgow began. The drive to Glasgow one we knew well and could do in under six hours, our home from home. Bar the West Country, Scotland is where we would ideally go back to live. For any that haven't visited, please do. The West Coast is beautiful and the City of Glasgow, a city you will fall in love with, culturally and the people. The architecture, museums, art galleries and parks are all familiar and when away I do miss them, despite the distractions of my lovely village.
Kwong and I ventured to a much loved part of Scotland, Loch Lomond. Its hikes through woodland and the peaks offering views of snow capped mountains. It was the favourite walk of my beloved Westie, Jack. His last trip up the inclines in snow. On this, Okami's first hike up, the sun shined and skies were the purest blue. It truly was magnificent.
After our hike up and down we drove to the Lomond Shores, lucking out with a food festival. All enjoyed Lomond's venison and many goodies from local people. Okami was spoilt with some great liver cake and biscuit after his venison. I think it was the highly amusing dog cafe, 'Dug Cafe' that made the trip perfect however and made me think of Japan. A bar with a huge variety of dog treats you could chose and fill a paper bag, cakes and tea or coffee for the humans. The amusing dog photobooth and fun atmosphere makes it a great destination for dog owners.
