Playing Catch-up

Well, it has been an action packed few days since Eunice and Keith arrived, and we have had a wonderful time together.   Their son Ken arrived to join them last Sunday too.   We’ve been to

 

 

 

 

Queensferry, over the Forth to North Queensferry (left) and

 

Culross, the 15/16th century village once a thriving coal mining village, and now restored as a visitor attraction as well as living village,

 

 

 

 

and when Ken arrived we drove down to North Berwick one day, via the picturesque villages of Drem and Dirleton

 

 

 

 

to visit the seabird centre where we could see on CCTV the gannet colony out on the Bass Rock – the largest gannet colony in the world  - 

 

 

 

 

and watch video footage of the various  other seabirds to be found around the rock, like this puffin.

 

 

Coming from winter in New Zealand Eunice, Keith and Ken were enjoying the summer weather here, and so was I!   We don’t get enough of it normally, these days!

 

Talk again soon.
