I am totally happy over getting it, here in Michigan, USA. Love your signatures. The wrapping was so delightful and my son enjoyed carefully opening it. Love that you not only share your lives with us visually but in your books too. I have the *Destination 500* book from last year and so glad to have the set. Have a blessed day and rest of your week. You guys are great and bring tons of joy to my family.

    Lovely film! I can't wait for the North Uist one. What I can't understand is how you could bear to leave the Outer Hebrides so quickly. Lewis and particularly Harris are just my favourite places in the world not just Scotland. This summer we went from Vatersay south of Barra to Ness in the North of Lewis over three and a half weeks and it wasn't enough. Surely your next book!
