To follow up on the sun in Banchory we took a quick trip to see the Gurney's in North Berwick. It's really wonderful having relatives in such a special seaside town - particularly one's that don't mind us landing on their doorstep at regular intervals. North Berwick was in a pretty sunny mood and we managed to hit the beach which was a great delight to the supreme being. More important than this was a very exciting boat trip to see the gannets on Bass Rock, which brought out shrieks of delight from Emily. For those of you that have never seen Bass Rock, its a big volcanic plug which is home to upto 150,000 gannets - so many that it looks white from a distance. It is a magnificent spectacle and often advertised as one of the ornithogical wonders of the world.
It mght have been sunny but the sea was still somewhat chilly
Anyone seen a gannet?
Bass Rock: "Gannets-ville"
Once again Emily loved being away. Her entertaining skills are coming on a treat and she delighted us all with her actorial and musical talents. It seems she really loves to be centre stage and a particularly cute favourite just now is acting out her some of her books. It's great fun to watch and we need to make sure we pack plenty for our holiday next week.
