Sadie do you have any favourite destinations and why? I love to travel, so my favourite destination is always the next place we are hoping to explore. But I should take the time to appreciate the Lothians (in Scotland, home for the last thirty years) properly rather than taking them for granted. Tourists know more about our neighbourhood than we do. The beauty of our coastline takes my breath away. We live next door to a battlefield, up the road from a hillfort on a volcanic plug.
