Summer really is so much fun...

Getting a bit behind with the blog so a whistlestop catch up on the end of the holidays. 

Following Croatia there was more fun in store. I'd managed to buy extra annual leave this year so I was looking forward to being part of the summer party for once rather than having to work and looking on from a distance.

First up was back to Banchory for some pampering from Nana and Baba. For me it was great to breathe in that Deeside air, get out and running in nature and find the space that I really needed after my Dad's passing. We did well in the charity shops, had great trips out, played tennis and the girls loved horse riding (I have finally decided I am not cut out for the equine life). We ate like kings and queens and were equally treated like royalty.

Then it was a quick return to Kirky and a sunny excursion to the Trossachs before we headed off to a festie experience extraordinaire at Fringe by the Sea. And there was more being treated like royalty courtesy of the Gurneys this time - they even set up the royal tent in the garden for us. We joined the masses though and saw plenty of bands - Racecar, Manran, Pictish Trail, Hamish Hawk and The Ezra Collective - as well as watching a soupçon of comedy and witnessing the Drum King John getting the main festival area jumpin'. I have to say it was an absolutely brilliant few days!

Thanks so much to all our hosts! And boy, summer this year has been so much fun.

And then....back to school and full working weeks! Aargh.....
