Sojourn in the North/East

Arrived back in Auld Reekie after a sojourn in Aberdeenshire with Layla and Miss B. We went up by train yesterday and had a lovely journey the weather was OK, sunshine but a cold wind. We went straight out to Newton Dee to have lunch there, phoned Liz our old chum to let her know we were there. Had a look round the lovely stores there, a food one and a handicraft one amazing things bought sweets for Bella and Cammy. Liz arrived and it was lovely to see her, she was great with Bella brought some lovely frogs for her to play with, we had lunch then left for Kemnay, Liz lives here and many years ago so did we.
Arrived safe and sound lovely to be there. Enjoyed meeting up with Justine, Cammy and Jack--who we haven't seen for ten years, not forgetting Peggy the Basset Hound. Bella was a wee star, we had a lovely dinner veggie stew and pasta, then lots of chat before bed.
Awoke bright and early and got up with Miss B. We had a play with aunty Liz prior to breakfast, the weather had changed and sleet/light snow was falling! After breakfast went for a walk to see our old house no nostalgia there for me, don't know about Layla she lived there from being two years--to five years. Bella threw stones into the puddles. Sarah a friend of Liz's arrived it was nice to meet her, we had decided not to go out as Liz had to run us into Aberdeen to catch our train. Lunch another play for Bella then we were off.
Good train journey, Joe met us dropped me off as they were going out for dinner. Got home about 1915h, always good to see Graham and Ruaridh.
Lovely dinner pasta with courgettes in cream, salad and bread.
Watched the programme on BBC2 'The Lost World of Communism' interesting! To bed as we put the clocks forward tonight. Bye.
