Saturday we tried to get on a walk to see a waterfall, and some sea cliffs...sadly the rain sent us scurrying for lunch and cheesecake! Which was followed by a wet walk back to their place, passing by an interesting old smithy's house they're interested in buying to renovate into a home (they're renting at the moment). Then it was a game of Trivial pursuit, and a great curry made by Fi's caring hands....and last but not least some of Fi's world famous brownies! We all went to bed stuffed and happy.
Sunday was a beautiful and sunny day, so we walked down to the lighthouse where we saw a dolphin, and enjoyed plenty of fresh air, as well as a bit of history as we stopped by the Fortrose Cathedral which dates back to around the 15oo's, then walked back to Fi and Al's for some lunch before heading home. It was a very relaxed weekend, and it was great to see Fi and Al before we go. Some piccies below:
