Davie and Chanel came with us to Aberfoyle on Saturday to choose our Christmas trees at David Marshall Lodge, now known as Forest Lodge. Despite there being only a tiny selection of trees left, we managed to choose two very nice seven-footers and lashed them onto the roofs of our cars. Then we had our traditional lunch in the café overlooking the wintry Trossachs hillsides. Having purchased two trees were entitled to two hot chocolate drinks, however the lady in the café kindly allowed us to have four free hot drinks! The weather was dreich and it rained heavily on the way home so we allowed the tree to dry out before decorating it today, while listening to Christmas music.
More festive occasions have included lunches at the Burrell Collection and walks in Pollok Park, the always joyful Òran Mor Christmas Panto with Gordon and Morag, and a Christmas Quiz at the Rowan Tree Inn with Davie and Chanel. All great fun. Ally and Cat arrived this evening to spend Christmas and New Year in Scotland and we collected them from the airport, it was so great to see them.
