This post is not an #ad or sponsored post for Caithness Pizza – I’m sharing about small local businesses during times of lockdown!

2018 Review – A Highland Blend
We’re almost at the end of 2018 and I’ve been reflecting – it’s been a busy year for A Highland Blend, with lots of travel and foodie adventures that I’ve enjoyed, both at home and further afield. It was hard to whittle them down but here are 10 of my favourite experiences of the year!
