  Cooo, it doesn’t sound like you love Scotland much… a few wee comment from someone who is a scot and lives in Scotland. It does not rain everyday. “All” food is not deep fried, only stuff you buy in a fish and chip shop, because deep fryers is all they have. The “extra tax because you rent” is the tax everybody pays for their public services like garbage collection, road maintenance etc etc. even home owners pay it. The tax is billed to every inhabited property. Dunblane may indeed have been the “last” school shooting here, but it was also the first and only school shooting here… a small point maybe, but an important one. Oh,and dunblane isn’t just outside Edinburgh…. Although, to be fair, it might be from the POV of an American.. it’s a little over an hour away and a Scot would describe it as “just outside” Stirling

I love local history and enjoy researching places I live or travel. So far I'm loving what Wales has to offer. One thing I haven't been able to find is what does it cost to move/live in Wales and how to get a visa.

  First time viewer....LONG time lover of Scotland! Have been from Inverness to John-O-Groats....Inverness to Ullapool via Kyle Lochalsh (and All Of Skye!!! Saw the Neist Point Lighthouse in the video). Was there in September and my only disagreement.....More Time! Over the years I've cut out more time.....well....because I can. If possible for anyone visiting Skye, North Coast, Speyside.....anywhere in Scotland, slow down and look around where you are. There Is So Much in just a small area of Scotland. If you can take your time. Have been visiting Scotland for over 50 years. Have travelled the World Over. Scotland is the ONLY place I return to again and again. Judging you???? All kinds of people have all kinds of opinions about all kinds of things. There I fixed it!

  Their anesthetic didn't work on me because of the anxiety meds I take. I had good luck with the first surgery but not the second. I got edema in my eye, have dark rim on the outside and lights flashing. It had been 2 months since the second one. I am seeing a new eye dr. I found out I have Fuch's Dystrophy in the bad eye and will probably need it lasered to get scar tissue off the lense. Fuch's Dystrophy can lead to a retina replacement.

  Did you have any problems with midges?

• 
  @RenLuuk10 ай бұрын

  I did and I didn't. It was pleasantly windy most of the time. So no midges. But if it stopped being windy - out they came. They love the evening twilight hour. Just as I was going to settle down for the night, would go outside to sit with a glass of wine ... and ... then clouds of midges would descend. I had skin so soft and midge spray - and a midge hat that went over the face. But impossible to eat or drink outside obviously. And they get everywhere - so opening the car door to get away from them was a challenge. They are so so tiny and travel in groups of millions x

  I'm 57 years young and I recently had cataract surgery done. I had the dropless cataract surgery done and I chose a monofocal lens set for distance implanted in my eyes. No regrets and my sight is just fine. Just need glasses to read small/fine print. In my opinion a healthy dialogue with your eye doctor is paramount and educate yourself before you choose a proper lens for your eyes. Be aware that a relatively healthy eye is required for best results regardless of the lens you choose. Anyway, thank you for the video. It is appreciated. Take care and stay well and good luck to everyone.

  Great question! Not one I can answer though. I can say that the UK is desperate for nurses so there should be loads of information about how to get here, how transferable your qualifications are, etc. I do know it takes time - hence why we are in a bit of a crisis. But definitely worth giving it a go! One little bonus to Wales - all prescriptions are FREE!! You pay for them in England. Good luck with your Google searching and application process!!!

  Hi there! No, my bag is not slash proof - though it is pretty tough fabric. I have been travelling with it constantly for over 5 years and it is still intact in every way. IF I take my wallet (and I don't do that as much anymore) I just make sure it is inaccessible and put it at the bottom of my bag. I tend to avoid taking it anywhere anymore. Apple pay and one credit card in a zippered inside pocket is how I travel now. Enjoy Paris!!!! x
