A bit of New Zealand in Dundee

And just like that we’re in September. It’s not feeling autumnal yet though, in fact the good weather is continuing, very warm with blue skies. Yesterday evening we had a barbecue in the garden, which was Ally’s excellent idea, and it was all very tasty.

I met Kathryn’s wee grandsons yesterday while having coffee at her house, they are very cute little boys; Archie is nearly three and Hamish is four months old. 

And today I went through to Dundee to see Chanel, who will be starting back at school in Manchester next week. We had lunch in a great wee New Zealand bistrot called The Bach, which really felt just like the places that Jamie has taken us to In Dunedin. Then we had coffee at the Blend Café, where Chanel showed me how to knit. I haven’t knitted since I was in primary school, so probably about 50 years ago. But although I was pretty terrible to start with, it did spark some distant memories and I really enjoyed it. One of the baristas asked if she could take our photo for their Facebook page - at last I am famous!
