10th December: Hello Elowen

Today was all about our outing to meet little Elowen! We had a fantastic time going down to visit the new arrival and her family, both on the road and while we were there to meet Elfi. So, here we go...

One: I drove amazingly well in horrendous conditions - Go me! (This one was volunteered by Mum, I'm not just being big-headed!)

Two: The mountains looked gorgeous all covered in snow.

Three: Elfi cuddles - well, more rocking and cooing than cuddles!

Four: We had a great takeaway this evening, a good way of making sure we all got to relax after the crazy day!

Five: Watching Auri showing off her little sister - she was horrified that Granny Susie said how lovely the Christmas Tree looked before she had gone to look in the Moses Basket!

Six: There were some beautiful rainbows today, and they seemed to be very close to where we were.

Seven: Driving back up the road, the moon looked amazing as it broke through the clouds - especially with the windmill in front.

Eight: It was great to have all of us in the car - inc. dogs! - and it meant we could all travel down together.

Nine: En route, we saw a red kite (the bird kind!) near Nigg Roundabout, and...

Ten: Just as we were setting off, we saw a raven at Stempster - one of our favourite birds!
