A Little Peek

The 2nd Annual Mr. Toast's Tea is about to begin. I took a walk around the snow-covered grounds earlier this morning, such spectacular beauty !

Above the tower door leading to the castle, The Scottish Coat of Arms is displayed.

Winding my way through the hallways, leading to the kitchen. I had sausage-rolls to deliver.

The grand hall, all splendidly decorated for the Christmas season. I plan to return later, with my mince pie and mulled wine.

It's almost time for tea, I hope to see you there !

*** Arrival Update ****

I've ventured through the blanketed snow, and not a minute too soon arrived at Torosay Castle.
Oh, what magnificence !

I plan to eat a hearty meal, unpack my luggage and retire early for the remainder of the evening.
Mabbe indulge in a cheeky wee Glenffidch whisky, just to fittingly toast the occasion !

Now, where are those snugly hot water bottles Mr. Toast was telling us about........

I'm Off To The Bash !

I'm bubbling with excitement !

My travel plans begin with the haunting call of a bagpipe beckoning me to the station platform where Edinburgh's famous train awaits. Celebrated as a world-class travel experience, the Royal Scotsman is one of the best ways to visit Scotland.

Once aboard, I'll be treated to an ultra-sensory mix of Highland culture and hospitality, set to motion along a stunning backdrop of highlands, lochs and glens.

My evening gown for the event with be this exquisite tapestry.

My hair will be worn in an elegant updo

A velvet cloak to keep me snug in a drafty castle

The British Isles has been blanketed with freshly-fallen snow

Once I've disembarked the train, I'll be transported through the Winter Wonderland via sleigh.

I hope they have the hot mulled cider waiting.

Here's our destination for the event, the magnificent Torosay Castle.

Of course the photograph shows it's splendor in summertime, can you just imagine how enchanting it will be under a sparkling cover of snowflakes !

See you at the bash !

We'll have a grand time.
