Déjà vu...

The last time I was in Banchory we were preparing for the arrival of Niomi. And as part of that preparation we made her a 'book'. The book contained lots of photos about us and what we were like, and I'll always remember the photo towards the end which was just after Emily climbed Scolty Hill for the first time (see post 'Banchory Firsts'). It was here we told Niomi that 'we like climbing hills and I'm sure you will too.' Brave words.

And so we thought it time to put that to the test. I've been to Banchory many times before, but never as a 'proper' holiday. And as Nana and Baba were away, we thought we'd take advantage of free accommodation and introduce Niomi to Banchory's delights. Well we've had a ball so far - it's brought back so many memories and created many new ones. The sun's shone nearly the whole time, apart from when I got the barbecue out. I've managed to indulge in the delight of photography, and what more beautiful subjects than my 3 lovely girls. And I think we can say that Niomi did enjoy her first hill climb/carry. She ate her way to the summit and answered positively to questioning about her enjoyment of the affair. That said, we were forced to beat a hasty exit from the top as the 'wilful one' neared her naptime.
