“ Ireland is rightly known as the Emerald Isle. Soft green grass covers the sheer majestic cliffs that continue for miles and miles into the sea. The greenish-blue waters of the ocean stretches as far as Iceland to the north and Barra island to the north-east. The rain had momentarily stopped; a pale yellow sun peeped in from behind the puffy grey clouds, infusing life and vigour to my drenched surroundings. ”

Walking in Peak District, England
“ It was a lovely walk through the valley. A lone tree stood on the sloping hills and the sweeping ranges could be seen for miles into the distance. It had rained a while back and the grass blades were covered with newly formed rain drops. How green was my valley! ”
Fall colours of Pitlochry, Scotland
“ Loch Dunmore is a serene, picturesque lake situated in the heart of the Faskally woods. The road to the Loch was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was late afternoon and the last rays of the autumnal sun came flaring in on the hilltops. The evergreen pines were fiery and glowing ! My surroundings were on fire ! ”
Spring in the Lake District, Cumbria
“ The elysian village of Coniston has flourished along the lake and lies in the foothills of the Old Man of Coniston. The morning clouds were beginning to clear and occasional sunbursts added a silver tinge to the lake waters. The surrounding grasslands radiated a vibrant green and a couple of fishermen were out into the lake with their fishing poles. ”
Tintagel and King Arthur
“ Every time I think of Tintagel, it conjures up images of the ruined castle resting peacefully on the fair waters of the Cornish coast. It is a place where history meets legend, creating a saga that inspires generations to come. ”
The Brontë country
“ The landscape was mostly barren except for the lonesome figure of a dying tree which formed a silhouette with one of its eerie branches reaching up to the sun. This scene resonated the grim and brooding atmosphere of Wuthering Heights and I was half expecting to find Cathy and Heathcliff engaged in one of their secret meetings. ”
