It's a winter wonderland in Aberdeen today. School was cancelled so the kids made excellent use of their free time and created a snowman.

Aboyne stone circle and Crathes Castle
Our first weekend of car ownership has been rather nice. We can be a bit more spontaneous. With the car club you need to plan in advance and book it.

There's about to be an explosion of green there as all the buds on the trees open up probably in the next week or so. Duthie Park is a gorgeous place: great for running, walking,… Continue reading Duthie Park and ice shelves
