I am getting so cross!! I have done this blog a few times and lost it twice, so will make it very brief as I am getting sick of typing the same thing.
Travelled from Keswick to Edinburgh by the scenic rout to meet Mathew Vinsen. Mix up with where to meed and both waited an hour at two different entrances. Eventually found each other and then travelled into Edinburgh centre to Matthew's favourite Chocolate shop for hot chocolates. Matthew very happy and enjoying life in the 'Burge'.
On to Montrose and a warm welcome from Jim and Susan and a lovely dinner in the conservatory complete with a couple of nice red wines.
Yesterday morning we went off for the day firstly down to Arbroath to see the preparing of the legendary Arbroath Smokies - smoked Haddock done in the time old traditional way. We were lucky enough to see a batch almost ready - the whole of Arbroath was permeated with smell of smoking fish - yum. Had a lovely lunch consisting of smokies of course, then off to Dundee where we had a visit to the Discovery - Captain Scott of the Antartic, with films, displays etc and a tour around the ship. Excellent.
Then on to a lovely restaurant in the country and a wonderful meal. After this we dashed home and got changed and off to drinks at a friends birthday in their wonderful garden room. Very posh.
I will leave this now till later and do today's trip after I have successfully logged this one.
