The Johnston's took me over to see their son and daughter in law, in Aberdeen. Paul and Lynne have the most amazing flat and everything is coordinating and decorated perfectly. We wandered around, checked out their old university, went to the Aberdeen beach (ICK!) and then went to this tiny fishing village called Footdie. All the tiny cottages had their backs to the sea, almost like they were shunning it. In reality, it was to keep the heat in though.

We then headed to the mall to buy something for Vicky and all the stores had the HUGEST clothing. I have never felt like such a toothpick!!!

The next day we went to Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire. Very pretty gardens.

Finally, we headed over the hills on this back road to get back to Inverness. The weather was incredible and all you saw were hills and mountains and glens and heather. The clouds were dramatic as well. VIcky was feeling sick so I didn't ask Anne to stop. However, I may stop at the Aviemore hostel on the way back so I can enjoy it again.
