It’s been a long haul. A long low slow lazy can’t be bothered to get up and at it haul to hoover out the blog and start afresh. But here we are.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3612\"With the\u00a0sausage dog<\/a> on board a new year full of adventure beckons. Here is my little ginger man in the back of the car with his mini-Schnauzer mates. That’s Basil on the left – and \u00a0Doris on the right. Three wee crackers, you can spot the tartan blankets as they were well wrapped and just getting their circulation back after a long walk along\u00a0the beach in Aberdeen. Bbbrr.<\/p>\n

We were up last week amidst the aftermath of the storm that wreaked havoc in the area. Dramatic scenes all around not least the sandy beach which was so covered in drift wood no-one could actually walk along it.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3592\"<\/a> \"IMG_3593\"<\/a>Here’s a photo of a tree which was snapped off at the roots and carried through the churning sea to this lofty spot. It was wild, windy and cold but great. We had faces like well slapped babies bums, dogs like drookit wigs and an intense need for some food so we stepped into The Sand Dollar<\/a> on the front. Overlooking the beach and sea their welcome was warm and their food delicious.Soup of the day and great hunks of warm bread and butter set us up for the brisk walk back to the car. It’s almost worth getting cold, wet and shivery just as an excuse to get in there and toast up.\"IMG_3590\"<\/a>
\nThough I haven’t lived in Aberdeen for years. I love it. The silver city – it aye feels like home. But colder.<\/p>\n
