30 APRIL 2013

A lovely spring day and the garden has some lovely colours.  Spent the day cutting grass and generally tidying up.  Nice to feel some sunshine again, albeit a little cold!

29 APRIL 2013

All lined up waiting for the clothes - and some good drying weather

28 APRIL 2013

 Think these might need some water?

27 APRIL 2013

A host of Golden Daffodils - minus the three in yesterdays post!!!

I note the comments from my son, the professional photographer, and attach the other snap I took at the same time....I know it doesn't blur at the back, but there is only so much you can do with a point and poke camera.  Does this one satisfy your aesthetics a little better? (added 28/4)

26 APRIL 2013

When the daffies are out, you just HAVE to have some around the house.

25 APRIL 2013

Had a very pleasant picnic in the shadow of the Bow Rock at Tarlair on the outskirts of Macduff.

24 APRIL 2013

Huntly Castle, the ancestral home of the Gordon Family, through the trees from the caravan park.  In a couple of months time the foliage on the trees will make it invisible.

23 APRIL 2013

It is always amazing where birds choose to lay their eggs.  These four blackbird eggs mean that the owner of the caravan can't run out of gas for the next few weeks!!!

22 APRIL 2013

Wonder how long ago someone took out their pen knife and etched these words into this tree - and why?  However, it is not an oak, not all that old and I suppose it isn't even a "ye"

21 APRIL 2013

A walk along the beach at Aberdeen and we spotted our shadows on the sand...spooky

20 APRIL 2013

Had an unexpected trip to the theatre tonight to see the local students show....brilliant.  Iam sure that the theatre staff pump up the heating to make you buy the ice creams at half time.  Came home hot and dry...a pint of orange is just what the doctor ordered.

19 APRIL 2013

 Can't believe that Matthew is 7 already. Where has the time gone?

18 APRIL 2013

A seat by the river...maybe not when you're wearing a new pair of trousers though!

17 APRIL 2013

Had a really nice pub lunch at the Mash Tun in Aberlour with Ali and Ian.  If you're in the area worth a look

16 APRIL 2013

 

Up to the caravan for a few days. It is blowing a gale but it's dry and sunny

15 APRIL 2013

Excitement today as the Police raided the house across the road.  Think they were chasing down some illegal immigrants but, I suppose we will never know!

14 APRIL 2013

 Ruby having an at home day.

13 APRIL 2013

It was a cold and windy day when we went with Willie and Wilma to Spey Bay, but at least it was dry!

12 APRIL 2013

What a difference a week makes.  Last week temperatures of -6 and two or three inches of snow.  Tonight a very pleasant walk with the dog along the banks of the River Deveron.

11 APRIL 2013

We kept wondering where the fat balls that we put out for the birds in the garden were going.  Now we know.. Mr Crow and his mates were the culprits

10 APRIL 2013

I had a little help from my big grandson this morning in chosing the subject and in taking the photo.  Thank you Matthew xxx.

9 APRIL 2013

We have a couple of lodgers staying with us tonight.  Always a pleasure...and yes Mum he did clean his teeth before going to bed

8 APRIL 2013

Doesn't need anything added by way of comment....does it?

7 APRIL 2013 - Part 2

 

Just so pretty I had to publish two photos today.  By lunchtime it was all gone! 

7 APRIL 2013

What pretty sight to wake up to.  A fair dump of snow overnight wasn't forecast but we're cosy in the caravan

6 APRIL 2013

Saturday afternoon crowds out shopping in Keith.  Where is everyone?

5 APRIL 2013

Standing waiting at the bus stop gets boring after a while

4 APRIL 2013

Lunch in the conservatory at the Laichmoray Hotel in Elgin.

3 APRIL 2013

A little warmer means we can spend a few days in Huntly. Still a little chilly and dull though.

2 APRIL 2013

Underestimated the amount of paint needed. So trip to the local B and Q in order. 

1 APRIL 2013

Guess what we are up to?  Yep halls and landing need a freshen (apparently!)
