A visit to Crail

This week has been busy because as soon as we arrived back from holiday I had to throw myself into preparation for my third Children’s Panel training day. This took me all of Monday, and then Tuesday was the training day itself which was intense as usual. On Wednesday David and Chanel popped round after Chanel’s hospital appointment about her injured hand. The specialist hopes that it will heal without needing surgery which is good news. It was great to see them both and we had lunch and a lovely chat. 

And today James and I travelled through to Crail to see Margaret and to visit her new home for the first time. I have already seen photos of it but of course it is even better to actually be there. It is a fabulous house with views of the sea, and less than five minutes walk to the beach. It is also in walk-in condition, beautifully decorated and with a huge garden at the back. It has a garden at the front too and is situated above the level of the road so it’s nice and private. We walked to the nearby Crail Harbour Café for an excellent light lunch. We have been there before, little did we know that one day Margaret would be living a stone’s throw from it! We also briefly met Margaret’s gorgeous cat Kenzie, who has travelled all the way from Arizona with Margaret to her new home in Scotland.
