It's been a busy weekend: started off on Friday afternoon with a lunch time meeting with a colleague from New York then much later in the evening catching up with my sister and her family (who live in London) and who treated us to dinner at the new Loch Fyne restaurant at Newhaven...and very nice it was too and not nearly as pricey as I thought it might be.
Saturday was PEP in the morning then off to visit a new garden centre we discovered at Hopetoun just outside South Queensferry...spectacular walks are adorned with all the plants on sale, ornaments and various other bits and pieces...a lovely tearoom (again inexpensive and good quality) and well worth a visit.
Sunday was spent lifting tons of leaves from the garden and general tidying up and then while Mike was at Easter Road I cooked and cooked and cooked for all the people we had in the evening. My eldest son has announced he is getting married in a couple of weeks (very unexpectedly) and we are delighted for him and his espoused (nice word that one, though I like affianced too - anything is better than 'partner'!) but inevitably it means a gathering of the clans - on our side, Maginnis & Scammell, who between them can muster over 40 people (hence the very large Xmas prezzie list) - bang goes counting the pennies too - just gonna have to run up a mountain of debt - aaagh!
