Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Had a great Christmas Eve (Once I had finished work!)  Escorted three very elegant young ladies to Alford Bistro where we had a superb meal.  Two of the young ladies even went to bed and sleep at a reasonable hour meaning their parents didn't have to stay up till all hours ensuring Santa had delivered.

Well we have now completed what can only be described as an orgy of present opening as evidenced by the pictures below. 

For the first time in a long time we actually got a bit of a lie in on Christmas day, woken up at 08.30 by the sound of Ellie laughing her socks off at a Top Gear special on iPlayer.  

So the highlights?  Ellie has a new camera and a GPS to go geocaching with, Isobel has a new bike , new bouyancy aid and new sailing holdall, Julie has lots of new warm clothes, and me?  Well what more could a dad ask for than a DSC Handheld VHF radio and a bottle of Jura whisky, oh and not forgetting several cycling books!

Its' Official, Christmas Has Started

Its official, Christmas has started as the Greens Christmas tree is up and decorated ( by Isobel).  She has gone for a more subtle look this year!  Did have one slight problem, got the tree, then remembered that the tree stand and decorations are all in Oban.........oops!  Nothing that a trip to Tesco's and Homebase couldn't sort out though.  If anyone is short on tree decorations this year, do let us know, we rather over bought!

Robert Gordons Christmas Concert

Seriously proud parents last night. Our second experience of the Robert Gordons Christmas Concert..........who needs the RSNO when you can have that!  Started off with Ellie singing in the P6-7 choir then Isobel singing in the S1-2 choir, quickly followed by Isobel on Tenor Sax in the Intermediate Concert band.  All worth every penny of the money!
