I took Grandma to the shops on Saturday morning for her groceries. It was an absolutely beautiful day, sunny after all the rain that we have had, so we decided to go for a walk to the Heritage Park in the afternoon. Grandma was understandably a bit nervous about this because her arthritis is so painful, however she did very well and only had to rest once on the 1.2 km walk round the loch. However it was not a speedy walk, and James and I both wisely took our goose down Rab jackets to keep us warm as we walked along at a snail's pace! We had a warming coffee in the café before heading home where I had an even more warming bath. In the evening we went to Chris and Carol's for dinner. and they made us an absolutely delicious meal. Earlier this week they had given us a choice of SIX menus with three courses in each - Mexican night, Italian night, Spanish night etc. We chose French night and this consisted of French onion soup, Boeuf Bourguignon and rich chocolate tart. Each course was absolutely wonderful and the whole evening was such fun, we had a great laugh.
We have been enjoying reading our friend Ewan's blog about his and Heather's ski holiday in Austria. Despite mixed weather it sounds like they have had a great time. It brought it home to me how lucky we were to get a week of snow and sunshine at New Year, a time of year when the weather might well have been dodgy. Although less skiing might have been easier on my knees!
