A weekend trip north (continued)


Four hungry boys waiting for their dinner.


My kind of restaurant is the kind that gives you a generous portion of pudding!


This was one generous helping of Sticky Toffee Pudding. 




At the re-union we all ate in our smaller family groups and then gathered in a private lounge for tea/coffee and socialising.

We were first through and the boys had a very civilised read by the fireside while we waited for the relations to come through.








My mother in law is second from the left and pictured here with her sisters and brother.







Later on in the evening we also tucked into a lovely cheeseboard.







Of course Auntie Anna's dog Cuilean had to be there. He is family after all!







Alasdair wasn't too overwhelmed by all the relations he had never met.








Here he is the following morning with his big buddy James at breakfast.







The hotel looked out onto a loch, which was beautiful and still while we were there.






Finally, here are a few scenery shots. The sky was so blue while we were away, the clouds so varied and the rainbows so bright!

  3. Alasdair's curls are just precious. Loved the photo of the cemetery with blue skies and clouds. Beautiful pictures.
