OSAS 2018!!

Having too great a time at Ohio Scottish Arts School 2018 - the 40th Anniversary to spend too much time writing!  Here's a quick snap of some of the goings on*.  So delighted and privileged to work with such fantastic and talented people - teaching with Sue Richards, Seumas Gagne, and Gillian Fleetwood.  Pinch me - it's totally real!

Harp the Highlands and Islands Trip 2018 Wrap-up

Well, we have completed another Harp the Highlands and Islands Trip.  We're all still basking in the glow of the fun times and new friends we developed while we were in Scotland.  And of course, we're all weathering the shocked feeling of returning to "real life".

We did have a great trip - good weather (for the most part), wonderful venues visited, joy and celebration together with new friends and old.  It was a blast!

Here are a few more photos that help capture the fun we had:

The sky is always breathtaking and we enjoyed the brief stop at Fort George before heading to Cawdor Castle but Clava Cairns were also a hit!

This is perhaps my favorite bathroom in all of Scotland - come with us next time to see it for yourself! We enjoyed visiting Glenfiddich Distillery - they give a really good tour.

We were privileged to have our harp event for the day in the magnificent dining room of Ballindalloch Castle.  More sky - because, well, just look at it!

On the last day there, even the sky looked sad - and we pass the Edinburgh sign, going the other direction...can't wait 'til the next time!
Wish you had been able to come with us?  Well, don't despair - we're already planning the next trip - watch this space for updates.
