Scotland day one and two

This is the Full Scotish Breakfast which looks just like the full English...This was not as good as Trish and Alan's

Rod ate every bit of his , I left some on the plate
St. Mary's Church/ Collage

was a really beautiful Building

Statue's near the entrance to St. Marys

Christopher in his Rider shirt checking out the Saskatoon berry Jam

A very Pretty Ann Marie...so very nice to see both of them

Oh! Yes our first very nice policeman...we were totally lost coming from the airport, we had pulled into a wooded area to try and sort out the Tom Tom and I saw a car load of police 4 of them, so I waved at them and this one got out and was going to set our Tom Tom for us the others had these funny looks on there faces, well Rod got it just as he came to the car, he reminded us to stay to the left and thet left , as we were turning onto the highway I looked over and there was the police car waiting to see if we got going OK they all waved as we went by...Ha!



Lovely Ol Graveyard near Duthie Park we walked trough some checking out the gravestones

Duthie Park very nice place
We started day one with the drive from the Airport in our Volkswagen diesel Car ...bloody efficient little car an automatic and we have driven about 150 miles so far and only used a 1/4 tank of fuel , it was a bit of a job for Rod to get use to the way of driving in the UK ...Likely didn't help when i would cover my face and scream Ha! Well he is a old hand at it now Ann Marie came to our Hotel on Tuesday and we three all walked to Duthie Park, and along the river it was so pretty all the daffodils in bloom everywhere and of course the Dandelions that no one worries about they grow big everywhere and really look lovely. Then we went to a Local Restaurant/ Hotel and had a great lunch, Ann Marie headed home and we just stayed in and rested went to bed early. Wed. Rod and I went to two Castles really enjoying them both, we were trying to get back to the B and B to meet up with Ann Marie and Christopher for Dinner, well we were late they were hungry and so they took a takeaway Chinese and headed to Ann Marie's, we caught up with them and they came back to join us at dinner we had a great visit.Would you believe I forgt to charge up my camera and so only got pictures of the church we stopped at . I have pictures on my phone and may figure how to load them to my Lap Top before I get home Ha!. Just was watching the news and there are people already waiting at Buckingham Palce for the big wedding of Will and Kate tomorrow, would you believe he (Will) is out as we speak shaking hands and thanking these people for coming out...what a nice guy :)
