A lovely autumn morning and the swans were out on the lake watching the geese getting ready to fly south.

Wakened by the goose chorus this morning.   When the sun gets up the noise begins as the geese take to the sky.  Who needs an alarm?

27 OCTOBER 2013

Sad day....that's the caravan all packed up for winter.   As usual we ask ourselves where the summer went.  Oh well soon be April.

26 OCTOBER 2013

Teddies are fine but think we need to update the photos at the caravan!  Lewis has really changed.

Haven't been out of terminal 1 for ages.  Forgot how close the planes come to the lounge.  Just had to get these twa tams!

It might not be the biggest or most modern TV in the world,  but it works!

OK so we know where the red and green cars go but where do we park the blue, white and silver ones?

The statue of Rob Roy McGregor on the banks of the Dee at Peterculter.
  Apparently he jumped across the river at this point to escape the redcoats

A nice trip to Craigievar Castle shows how the Autumm has really set in.

Oh the power of the highlighter!  This is what a student paper looks like when written in Arabic and translated to English.  Mind you, his English is better than my Arabic.

17 OCTOBER 2013

Some of the many etchings and scratches on the fabric of the old Jacobean Bramshill Mansion.  The 1900 date prooves that vandalism and graffiti are not modern day problems.

Stairway to heaven..no it is just the steps up from the bottom car park.

The morning dew turned this plant silver today.  The photo doesnt do it justice.

The seat of local government in Aberdeen - Marischal College.  One of the most impressive granite buildings in the world.

13 OCTOBER 2013

If you look closely you will see the heron standing on the rock in the river.  It's times like this you wish you had your good camera with the zoom lens, and not just the camera on your phone.

12 OCTOBER 2013

With Autumn in full stride the leaves started to fall but with the strong winds we now have a carpet of dead leaves.

11 OCTOBER 2013

One of the two "pepper pots" at the front of the mansion.  A bright but cold day!

The tower at Bramshill on a cold but bright morning.  Wonder who came up with the brick pattern.

This is the critter that spins the web over our front door that I walk into every morning and every evening.  He makes them, I knock them down.

Looks like the rainbow is lighting up the tree.  Nice day with lovely sky but starting to rain at night.

7 OCTOBER 2013

We were sitting in the class when a shadow passed through the room. A Virgin hot air balloon passed by low and close.  That's the way to travel.

The Rowan trees are full of berries. Does this mean we have a cold winter to look forward to?

5 OCTOBER 2013

The start of October and Autumn is definitely with us.  The flowers have gone to seed and the greens are turning gold.

Another day at the office.  The guys are awake (well two out of three are) and paying attention to the presentation.

Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day.  One of the (many) kitchen danglers.

1 OCTOBER 2013

The changing skyline of Aberdeen.  It is amazing what demolishing the old St Nicholas House is revealing.
