I always wanted Dr Who to look for it, the cave, that is.  |
My mom had a similar feeling about Ireland. She was about 75% English background, and only 25% Irish, but called herself an "Irish lass" because she loved her 100% Irish grandfather and his sisters so much. I'm so happy that about 10 years before she unexpectedly passed away, she and I took a trip to Ireland together. She was so excited! I liked it a lot, too.
I hope you get to go to Scotland someday, Nammu. That was where my Dad always wanted to visit. When he'd fly to/from Amsterdam (he lived there while in the air force), the plane would fly over Scotland. He said it was the greenest place he ever saw. Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely he will travel abroad again, in the future. Don't miss out when you can.
