Weekend News





We didn't have a whole lot planned for this weekend and were looking for some things to do.  Fiona found an advert for "The Taste of Grampian" - a food fair held in nearby Inverurie.  It was billed as farmer's market/gourmet food tasting/craft fair.  These types of things are usually right up our alley, but this one turned out to be somewhat disappointing.  We expected a greater attendance from local restaurants with tasting plates of their dishes.  Instead it wasn't much more than what we could get at our local market.  We met a few friends, though, and marvelled at the flower stand, so it wasn't a complete waste.

We took the long way home and found some picturesque scenery.  We have a hard time getting over the landscape and greenery here.  There are so many flowers and trees that even when the weather is overcast it never gets really gloomy.

Speaking of which, it has just gotten gloomy here... courtesy of Casey and her flatulence.  Times like this we think of not going to get her when she "visits" our downstairs neighbours.  She just seems to love it there - she jumps our small fence and runs in their house to play.  She gets lots of attention from Andrea and Cesare, so I can see why she goes.
