December was a wild and
windy month and there was a great storm with the sea coming over the sea
walls in Stonehaven and Johnshaven.
At Milltown we prepared for
Christmas and mum came on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Day we went to
church in Neilston and then to Patrick's house for Christmas Dinner;
Rhuaridh and Isobel and their mum and dad and Beckie's mum and dad were
there too: we had a delicious lunch and stayed overnight. Thankyou
Beckie and Peter.
On Boxing Day morning mum and
I went to Joyce and Mike's house and then back to Dunlop in the evening to
Alfred's house: he had lots of visitors, Carina and Anna and Francesca's dog
Viggo who was there for a whole week. We went out for lunch to the
Canny Man at Lugton. I took some of these photographs with the camera
Alfred gave me for Christmas - thankyou Alfred, it's a lovely present and
I'm going to take more pictures for my calendar.
Before coming back to
Milltown, we went with all the Longstaffs - Sue and Geoff as well - to the
Russian State Circus in Edinburgh. Then back to Milltown for New Year.
