It was a really fun party which started early afternoon with a pleasant walk from the house down through the village and up Dunlop Hill. Although small, it has beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and across to Arran. Back at Cat's house there were two large marquees set up in the garden with lots of tables and chairs. It was so relaxed; the young ones were playing tennis on the lawn and there was loads of food and copious amounts of drink. We played games and had a quiz. I believe that Christine has been monitoring the weather forecast and we were certainly lucky that it it was warm, dry and sunny all afternoon, cardigans only began to appear at about 5 o'clock! We chatted to lots of the family's friends and relatives and found them to be a very congenial crew. Ally was of course present, having flown in from Oslo specially for the occasion, and Davie, Jamie and Aisling were invited too.
Later on James and I made our way to Turnberry where we were too tired to go to the bar so instead snuggled up in our room with a cup of tea to watch the last half of the Eurovision Song Contest. I was a bit disappointed this year because I thought that some good songs got overlooked. James mostly slept through it and had to ask me who won!
This morning we are relaxing at the spa reading our newspaper and swimming. Lovely.
