| This past weekend we headed to Newmacher just north of Aberdeen to visit Gaye's friend Collett who she has known since her schooldays in Dalbeattie. We travelled by train via Edinburgh and the journey north on Friday was spectacular with sunshine most of the way. When we arrived at Dyce Station it started to rain and it never stopped until late evening Sunday night and on our return journey it was once again a nice day. The only time I had my camera out was when we were going over the Tay and Forth Railway bridges and to take a photo of Gaye & Collett on Sunday night. The girls did a lot of shopping and talking but it was so wet I was hardly over the doorstep and did a lot of reading, eating, (Collett is a fantastic cook), and watching sport on TV. This is the Tay Bridge taken from the train. I should add that the return journey was just £34 for the both of us so it was a bargain until we got to Edinburgh Waverley on the return journey to find the Carlisle train had been cancelled so we quickly headed to the Bus Station and caught the X95 to Langholm. |
