I do a lot of journey-ing and on our last road-trip around Scotland it was COLD! We drove through snow and lots of rain and in an open car exposed to the elements it was pretty extreme.

I knew I needed an extra layer so I knitted these fabulous #marledmanialeggings by the incredibly talented #stephenwest and used only wool which was produced in the areas we drove through. I knitted them on our trip and wore them in the latter weeks.

I’ve called them my ‘journey pants’ because they remind me of the fabulous places we visited on such a wonderful journey through Scotland.

When we were taking these pics, Max said something which was really really funny…. I can’t remember what exactly… but now I reflect upon how much fun we have together and how important it is to have a partner who brings out the best in each other. My companion is loving and kind; is fun to be with; is generous and warm hearted; and I feel so grateful to be able to share our lives together.
