It&#8217;s been about 20 years since I last visited, but it hasn&#8217;t changed very much at all. Even the narrow, twisty road from Glasgow to Oban hasn&#8217;t changed. When I first drove that road in my early 20s it was extremely daunting, but now it didn&#8217;t give me pause at all, which is a miracle given that I never drive a car let alone drive on the other side of the road&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-62161 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017-760x570.jpg\" alt=\"family photo\" width=\"760\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017-760x570.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017-500x375.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017-768x576.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/family-2017-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our friend Maria recently expanded <a href=\"http:\/\/telaria.es\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telaria<\/a>, her online fabric shop, by opening a lovely bricks and mortar fabric store in Seville.

She&#8217;s not interested in eating anything early in the morning, and it&#8217;s always been a struggle to find something to see her through to lunch. Then I remembered she loves crepes. So almost every morning we&#8217;ve been making crepes, which is actually very easy and fast because we mix up a double batch of batter and it lasts several days. I prefer mine with a few drops of lemon juice and a little powdered sugar, but S likes them with Nutella or whipped cream. (I know. I&#8217;m just happy I get her to eat something.) Now we&#8217;re messing around with crepe cakes. But not for breakfast.
