Today, the forecast was rainy, so we decided to head up towards MacDuff, where there is an aquarium. First, we popped into a fishing village called Cullen, which is a bit west down the coast from MacDuff, where there is a quilt shop and cafe I wanted to check out. The village is lovely, with a great aqueduct and harbour – and funny thing, when we pulled into the car park and turned around towards the tourist info centre/town hall building I saw a sign “Quilt Show Today” – how lucky is that? We had a look around the show – a small show with mostly traditional stuff, though some arty things and a rather spectacular Cathedral Windows quilt. We then made our way down to the quilt shop, which was at the back of a bigger shop & cafe - and despite having taken some sandwiches with us, we decided to eat in the cafe – Geoff and I had Cullen Skink (how could one resist, being in Cullen itself!).
Then, we drove further east down the coast towards MacDuff, but on the way, came across a rather nice looking beach. By this time the rain had cleared and it looked nice out, so we decided to stop and let the kids (and the bigger, older, male kid) have a run on the beach and a play in a very nice playground which was also there. Of course, being kids, they got very wet, so we decided to skip the aquarium and simply head home, by way of Tesco to grab some pizzas. We built a roaring (sort of) fire in the fireplace, the kids had hot baths and we heated up the pizzas. Bliss!
