Last Friday, everyone else went to Fyvie Castle while Amelia and I went into Aberdeen. The walled garden there was so lovely that the historian wanted me to see it. So today, when the beautiful sunny weather of yesterday had turned again to rain, we went to see it.

'I have to say, I think this is a truly Scottish thing, to be visiting a garden in the rain,' said my daughter. It is a beautiful garden, entirely worth several visits. We opened the umbrellas and took it in.

| Scottish apples (James Grieve) |
 |
| true Scotland. |
 |
| a lettuce so perfect it is a flower. |
It was the children's first day back at school. We walked with them in the morning and met them in the afternoon.

| chatting after school. |

| pretty excited to get there. |
Then, it was the back to school feast, finishing reading ambitious novel to Miriam and Evie, watching our last few episodes of Still Game, and packing. Sleeping/not sleeping. And goodbyes.
