Grand Tour of Scotland: Day 10: 21 August 2019 ~Exploring the Isle of Lewis and Harris #512

Harris Hotel

Situated in Tarbert, the hotel is the ideal base from which to make day tours of Harris, Lewis and even the Uists to the south. Alternatively Tarbert serves as an essential stopping-off point on your journey through the Outer Hebridean archipelago.

Harris Hotel was built in 1865 by the 7th Earl of Dunmore, and was originally called the Tarbert Hotel. At the time, he owned the North Harris Estate and built the hotel as a “sporting retreat” for anglers.

The estate has been owned by several individuals of note over the last century such as the Earl of Dunmore, Sir Samuel and Sir Edward Scott, Lord Leverhulme, Sir Tom Sopworth and Lord Brockett.

William Cameron took over the lease of the hotel in 1903 (having previously run the Taychreggan Hotel by Loch Awe in Argyllshire) and immediately changed the name of the premises to the Harris Hotel.

The Cameron family bought the hotel outright in 1948, and the third and fourth generations, now Morrison, are currently involved in running the business.

The original visitor books, stretching back to the 1880s, are still kept on the premises, and show a number of famous guests have stayed here over the last three centuries. J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, signed the visitor book in 1912, then at the height of his fame as a playwright.

He even took the time to etch his initials on the dining room window, which can still be seen today.

PS. I am busy saving for a few upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Scotland, Namibia, a few road trips in the USA including Route 66, and a few local National Parks and Botanical gardens in South Africa. The most important trip is honoring my promise to Dad to return to Scotland and capture the beautiful landscapes and Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.

Good morning everyone

It is raining cats and dogs at the moment. We are on our way to Wellington, TX. We still have 290 miles to go.

It has been a hectic week, with lots of long-distance traveling. I can’t believe it is Thursday already. Saturday, I will only have two weeks left here in the USA.

I have mixed feelings about going back. I miss my kids, family, friends, and my pets a lot. But I am dreading being apart from Christo for the five months before I return to the USA.

At least there is video calling….

Good day everyone

I hope you are all doing great and did not miss me too much.

I had a hectic week last week. I was exploring, editing, and organizing my laptop.

I will spend my last three weeks in the USA working with Christo.

Good morning friends

It is a beautiful cloudy morning here in Byers, TX. I had a good night’s rest. The past few nights, I have been coughing myself awake. Last night I decided to try some Cough medicine for the night. It worked like a charm.

Yesterday, I drove to Marlow, Duncan, Comanche, and Addington in Oklahoma. I did not explore Duncan because it is too big. I will have to allocate a whole day to explore it thoroughly.

I was so busy capturing the towns with my camera that I completely forgot to take photos with my cellphone. I only took one in Marlow….

I have a few upcoming projects here in the USA that will run over the next few years.

1. Water Tower Project

Yes, you guessed correct. With this projects I am going to capture all the Water Towers of the different towns I visit and explore here in the USA.

2. Wall Mural Project

As we drove through the small towns all over the USA, I have noticed murals on the walls of old buildings. I would like to document these beautiful artwork in the towns I visit and explore.

3. Fauna and Flora Project

As you all know this one lies very close to my heart. I love capturing nature and of course I would like to document it. For now I am just focusing on the animal and birds around the house and in our garden. When I return in August 2023 I will be venturing to other areas.

Good morning friends

It is a beautiful cloudy morning here in Crawford, TX. I had a good nights rest, and did not even wake up to go to the bathroom.

It is Friday and we are heading home. Next week I will be blogging from home and also go and explore and capture some of the towns around Byers.

Good morning everyone

I am a bit late this morning. Sorry about that.

It is a cold morning here was -2 degrees at one point. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day, though.

Today is the one-year anniversary of Dad’s departure.

There has not gone a day by that I don’t think or talk about him. Here in the USA as well. Dad would have loved it here. Mainly all the little run-down towns and their rich history.

Good morning friends

It is a gloomy morning here in Brookshire,TX. Kind of like my mood this morning.

We are heading to Houston, TX, and the traffic is horrendous .

Tomorrow dad and mom would be reunited for a year. My heart is still in a thousand pieces.

Wishing everyone a blessed Wednesday.

Good morning friends

I hope that you all had a good nights rest.

We drove in the dark last night. Cattle were crossing the road, and we nearly hit them. I hope the farmer heard the horn and fetched them.

It is beautiful cool morning. I woke up with a sore through and runny nose. Luckily we have medicine on hand and I already took some flu tablets.

Just made us some coffee for the road.

We are on our way to Wellington, TX. We still have 126 miles to go.

We had a lovely day and we just finished our dinner. I must say it is way better than truck-stop food .

Well, friends I am going to say goodnight now and wishing everyone a peaceful night’s rest.

Good morning friends

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

I was very busy cooking up a storm. Bying food on the road does not agree with my tummy.

I can’t eat too spicy or oily food. At the truck stops most of the food are either one of the above or both of them combined.

If you add up the dollars it also works out very expensive. So I decided too cook food for the road. Well this way we will get in one healthy meal per day.

Potatobake,carrots,chicken and flavoured rice.

Made enough for four meals. Today we are eating two

Chicken fillet blocks, vegetables, and pasta in white sauce

Mince and potatoes. I made enough for lunch on Saturday and froze the left overs (three meals) for sometime during the week.

Put some sausages in the airfryer we ate some of it last night with store bought potatosalad.

We left home yesterday around 2:00 pm for Stigler, OK. It was around four hour’s drive. I woke up to this beautiful scene again this morning.

Next week I will be staying home in Byers. I Still need to capture the rest of Byers. Then I want to go to Marlow, Comanche, Addington, Waurika, Charlie, Dean, and Petrolia. I have to start working on my Travel Photography Portfolio and see if I can add some more to my Landscape Photography Portfolio. I don’t have much time left before I leave for South Africa 🇿🇦.

My time in the Texas, USA is coming to an end. But I will be back in August again.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful Monday. Remember the wise words of Walt Disney. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Good morning everyone

I hope everyone had a pleasant nights rest. I slept like a log.

Yesterday was a very emotional day for me. I realized that everything I see reminds me of something dad said. Most of the time my first thought when I see something would be ‘Dad would love this’. Valentine’s day was always special for us and we would spoil each other just a little bit more. We would go out for breakfast, and I would cook his favorite meal for supper. Snackwitches with a variety of fillings in it. My dad was a simple man who loved the simple things in life.

Wishing everyone a Blessed day. Filled with laughter.

Good morning everyone

It has been raining, and we had thunder ⚡ the whole night. We arrived in the pitch dark with heavy rain.

When we woke up this morning we had this beautiful view.

I am genuinely grateful that I can travel through Texas and see all the beautiful landscapes and towns. I must admit that some of the towns do look like it is busy falling apart but for me, that just add more character to it.

My list of places and towns to visit is getting very long.

Wishing everyone a lovely day.

I tried capturing photos with my Canon and telephoto lens while driving but most of the photos came out blurry. Not due to the speed we traveled but the way the truck shook. I could not keep the camera steady enough.

Christo bought me a phone so that I can stay in touch with my loved ones at home. I am very happy with it and the camera is fantastic and I am enjoying playing around with all the settings.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my post.

Greetings from somewhere in Texas.

PS. I am busy saving for a few upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Namibia and a few local National Parks here in South Africa. The most important trip is honoring my promise to Dad to go back to Scotland and capture the beautiful landscapes and Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.

Well, I made it in one peace. Byers, Texas will be my base and home for the next nine weeks and three days.

Health

I have been feeling a bit under the weather since we landed. I have a strange headache; I am unsure how to describe it. It is not so bad that I need tablets, but it is irritating. My tummy is also throwing a hissy fit since Monday morning. I am afraid to eat any strange food, so I stick to bread and Skippy Peanut Butter for now.

Website and Writing

I have not posted since our flight. But I will tell you all about my flight experience in a separate post. Next week I will be joining Christo and will try to post at least every second day.

How is the weather today?

According to the weather forecast, it is going to be a reasonably cool Winters’s day. With a minimum temperature of 11°C and a maximum temperature of 19°C, winds up to 33 km/h.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support and for taking the time to look at my posts. I am genuinely grateful for every view, like, and comment I receive.

I wish you all a fantastic day.

Good day friends

Oh my word, the waiting is killing me. I know I am not supposed to wish time to pass, but I can’t help it.

I thought that it would not be so bad if we talked to each other daily via WhatsApp Videochat. But to be honest, talking to him and not being able to give him a hug or be there for him in person is more challenging than I anticipated.

I keep reminding myself that all good things come to those who wait. My life is about to go in a new direction, one I never saw coming. Everybody tells me to sit back and enjoy the journey, and that is precisely what I will do.

Good day friends

We fly in four days, and I will see Christo again in five days. I am really missing him a lot.

I am all packed and ready to go. All that I still need to pack are the few things we need to buy for the house to take with us, but that goes in a separate suitcase.

We had a hot and humid day here in Cape Town, South Africa.

Health

I am feeling much better today. Still have a headache that won’t go away. I think it may be due to the fact that I am flying to Texas in 4 days time.

Website and Writing

Today I took a break from working on my website, I had too much to do and we had loadshedding in the afternoon as well.

On my To-Do list for today

Go to Chemist to pick up Chronic Medicine
Go to Agrimark to get wax blocks for mice
Buy Parrot food for Spyker
Go to bank to pick up new card and sort out banking for overseas.

How is the weather today?

According to the weather forecast, it is going to be a hot summer’s day. With a minimum temperature of 17°C and a maximum temperature of 29°C, winds up to 18 km/h.

Why do you write?

I am not a writer. Not by a long shot.

I am a photographer and have always believed my photos must tell the story.

But like everything, circumstances change, and one must adapt.

Now I am writing to improve my storytelling skills.

I find it very difficult to put my photos into words, and even more difficult to tell the story of how it happened that I took that specific photo.

Like in photography, it takes practice to get it right.

Have a Blessed day.

Love

Coreen

What brings you joy in life?

Spending time with my loved ones.

Spending time in nature.

Long walks on the beach.

Traveling and exploring new places.

Capturing the beauty all around me.

Have a Blessed day.

Love
