It only seems like five
minutes since we arrived here in Scotland and today we’re packing up in
preparation for the drive back to Suffolk tomorrow evening. It’s been very much
a family week and we’ve seen a lot of Sarah, Rose, Melody and Duncan.
The weather has been a bit
grim in the main but we did manage to get out on our bikes once. The St Andrews
area is perfect for cycling and we visited all the familiar landmarks that help
to make it such a fabulous place. We’ve been out for lunches with the family at Kellie Castle and in Dundee and to Zizzis and Balgove Larder here in St Andrews and
this afternoon we’re going to head down to the new Hotel Du Vin on the seafront
to see what that’s like. I’m not expecting any miracles in the football so
won’t be seeking out a bar showing Liverpool’s game but if by any chance West
Ham take a miraculous lead in Manchester I may be tempted to change my mind.
We won’t be back here until
July so I imagine that there will be more huge changes in Melody by then.
She’s changed so much since we were last here just a few months ago.
Here’s a selfie she took on
my phone.
The playground here at the
caravan park is perfect for little ones. Perhaps when we return in the summer
one (or even both) of the girls will be able to sleep here for a night or two
and give their mum and dad a well earned rest – they certainly deserve one.
We’ve another busy schedule
ahead when we’re back in Suffolk. We’ve got a bit of babysitting to do in
Rochester on Wednesday and then we’ve got the FramSoc supper at the college on
Friday and friends visiting us for the weekend too. Their last visit in May
2013 was aborted at the last minute due to a crisis – let’s hope that we can
enjoy their company this time and that the weather allows them to see our new
home county at its best.
