Two pretty things (Waterfall and Emily!) |
Today started of wet and never stopped. Really, for this to be the only rainy day in Scotland is quite remarkable! Steve and I started the day with a run while everyone slept (I think I’ve gained at least 50 pounds on this trip!) We ran through a light rain, along the creek that runs past the castle. It was a beautiful run.
Once back home, we saw that Chris was up. He headed up to Dairsie (in the car this time) to get some milk while we hopped into the shower. Once clean and ready, we had some coffee and just took it slow.

As everyone else began to rise, we started thinking about a nice big breakfast. We ended up making eggs in the Aga stove, bacon, baked beans, and toast. Another proper English breakfast! As it was noon, everyone was up for “breakfast.” We finished, cleaned up and then just hung at the castle. At one point, Steve, Andy, Emily and I headed into St. Andrews for a bit to get a map of England for our drive home, as well as a few things at the Tesco for dinner, and some wi-fi for Andy. He sat at a café enjoying their wi-fi while the rest of us ran around in the rain getting things.

When we were done, we headed back to the castle. When we got there, Isobel was babysitting Peter, Anya and Isaac while Chris and Nicola had gone to see the air force base nearby as well as a local old church. We all met back home to relax some more, and start organizing/packing for the trip home tomorrow. We started a fire in the fireplace, and then the kids (and some parents) started to participate in a massive game of hide and seek. Do you know how awesome hide-and-seek is in a castle? There were some hiding places where people actually gave up and came out of as they would never have been found!
A silly girl! |
At some point a few of us started working on dinner while others continued to play. It was a great game, and I must tell you that when you hide across the chairs under the medieval dining table, NO ONE can find you without help!
One of 6 bathrooms! I didn't discover this one for days! |
