Last Day!

Today was a beautiful, glorious day, sunny and warm. Unfortunately, because it was our last full day here, time had to be spent packing, cleaning and so on. So Geoff took Olivia and Alex out for a trip to the local castle (ruins) and then for a little walk, while Sarah, Grandma Kathy and I sorted things out back at the cottage. At lunchtime, we went out to Mossat, where there is a garden centre with a nice cafe and had a good lunch there. There is also an antique shop next door, so we poked around in there a little (well, Alex and Olivia played in the garden of the garden centre).

We then all drove along to Alford to the Grampian Transport Museum, which the kids really enjoyed. After a cup of tea and some ice cream, we came back to the cottage to hang out and roast a chicken for dinner. Tomorrow morning, it’s a fairly early start so we have time to wash the last of the sheets before we leave for the airport. It will be nice to get back home, though I imagine it will seem extremely crowded after a week up here!
