  • Matthew and I spent last weekend up near Loch Fyne for a relaxing spa weekend out of the city. We spent a partial day touring Inveraray Castle and exploring the town, but I particularly enjoyed just sitting by the loch and soaking in the quiet.
    Instagram voted for the Inveraray footage to be a mini vlog instead of a segment in the next weekly vlog, so here we are 🫡

    It’s interesting to hear his perspective on moving back! It’s an adjustment for anyone. It’s a big move!

    I moved to Northern England from NOVA, going about 7 years. Even after this long it is still nice to see others that are experiencing the same life event. The transatlantic flight distance from family is hard, and the long winters and short summers are also difficult “mood” wise. I didn’t really get homesick but would be nice to be able to go back without needing to fly back as it’s so expensive. I don’t know if Scotland is the same but in England you can drive for a year from your arrival on your US license, if you will be driving manual (or even if automatic) and as I’ve seen that you have driving anxiety (me too now) I would recommend taking advantage of driving during that first year as it will help a lot later when obtaining your UK license. I really struggled with driving in the UK and wish I had tried practicing earlier to build confidence. Looking forward to seeing your journey.

    Loved hearing Matts perspective and the little bit of history you shared! Im a huge Outlander fan (and Scotland has been on my wish list even before I got into the show/books) so learning the history of Scotland from that has always peaked my interest!
    I was thinking about you all having Scot/American kids and them saying "going on a vacation" with a heavy Scottish accent, ha! My daughter picked up "going on holiday" from Peppa but in her clear Appalachian accent and made me think of that, haha!

    WAIT why shouldn’t I walk in a fairy tree ring!! I’m so curious
    Looks stunning hope you had a wonderful time 🩷

    • @lilymiklas
      @lilymiklas Месяц назад +1

      According to folklore, there are many reasons why you shouldn't walk in a fairy ring, including becoming trapped forever, turning invisible, or dying young:
      Trapped forever: Some say that stepping into a fairy ring will trap you there forever.
      Invisible: Others say that stepping into a fairy ring will make you invisible.
      Die young: A superstition says that anyone who steps into an empty fairy ring will die at a young age.
      Dance to death: In Britain, especially Wales, people were afraid that fairies would make you dance until you died or became exhausted.
      Hanged: A 20th-century tradition from Somerset says that a murderer or thief who walks into a fairy ring will be hanged.

    You’d be surprised about accents. I’m a Canadian who married an American and our son says Canadian pronunciation for many words but he’s been growing up in America 😂 and those accents are super close to eachother!

    The west coast of Scotland reminds me a lot of the Canadian maritimes, which is one of my happy places so this was such a comforting video

    Inveraray Castle was used as a filming location in Downton Abbey (a show I think you'd probably love!) It's so gorgeous, and you captured it so well!

    I figured your hubby would have reverse culture shock. I had that when I came back to the US from living in Korea for 6 years. Took me 2 years to feel more back to normal in the US. I think reverse culture shock is more disorienting than culture shock as someone who has lived in 5 countries.

    Why does Mathew gaze into the distance. He never looks at you when talking.

    • @MarySkinner
      @MarySkinner  27 дней назад +1

      He’s very camera shy so I’d imagine he’s looking at the scenery instead of me or the camera to try to avoid getting flustered while he’s speaking
