It was time to say goodbye to Granny and Papa, and for the long flight home. We had a lovely time -- it's a shame we could not have stayed longer.

After a busy morning with Granny, we went out. We visited Granda at the house he is working on, and then went into Stoney for lunch. After a walk round the beach we visited Great Granny. We played Scrabble and Ailsa knitted a bit before we went off home to rest.

Granny gave Ailsa a wonderful gift. Lucky girl! She won't wear anything else now!

Ailsa and Granny were working on their art projects today. Granny made an easter egg, and Ailsa made an easter basket. After that we went down to Stonehaven, braved the weather and took a few pictures of the stormy sea. After a trip to the shops to buy some supplies, we spent a quiet afternoon back home.

A child in a phone box?

Ailsa and I were sitting on a bench in the town square in Stonehaven. We looked over to a phone box, and saw this child. Click on the picture to see the entire phone box. Very thought provoking.

Ailsa and I spent a very busy day in Stonehaven today. Everything from going to the beach, the harbour, shopping, to the library, going for teas and scones, running up and down hills, and going to the play park. We finished off our day with a visit to Great Granny's house.

Ailsa and I are visiting Granny and Granda ("Papa") Craigmile in Scotland. The first job is making "Scotch Broth". Yummy indeed.

What a snow storm! I don't know how many inches, but it was the most we have had in a long time!
