Isobel's Jazz Band

Had a lovely evening down in Glasgow with my girls!  Went down for Isobel's Jazz Band winter concert. Fabulous concert with some great music, finishing off with Skyfall, the theme tune from the James Bond movie of the same name.

After finishing at the concert we went along to the Xmas market in  George Square in the centre of Glasgow and enjoyed the lights and where pancakes were consumed!

Baking

An absolute triumph by Ellie, her big sister has some real competition on her hands, while the cat is away at university the mouse is enjoying a little play! Tasted as good as it looks!

Busy Weekend

We have had a busy weekend. Isobel was at Edinburgh University's sports ground at Pefermill for a trial for the Scottish Universities hockey team so I went down to meet up with her on Saturday evening and then took her along to the trials before dropping her off for the train back to Glasgow.  Lovely to have a meal together on Saturday evening.

Meanwhile it was Ellie's 5th year dance so Julie was taking her to the dance followed by a somewhat late pick up!  Below are Ellie and her friend Hannah round at Hannah's house before heading off to the ball.

And to cap it all, a lovely weekend with a some beautiful weather and light, took a few photos of the house in the afternoon sun.

Cycle With Ellie

Lovely cycle with Ellie on the mountain bikes this afternoon, up to Chapel of Garioch,, down to Burnhervie then back up to Monymusk.  Managed to avoid all the showers.

Grandmas 92nd Birthday

Just had a weekend down in Eastbury with Grandma and Grandma, it was Grandma's 92nd birthday.  Spent the time getting the garden into shape , especially the patios and pots.  Thanks to Pat for a wonderful birthday lunch and cake.

SSSA Aberdeen Qualifier

A wee video of Ellie doing a warm up run.

A Hockey Win and a Silver Medal in Skiing

Not a bad sporting weekend as these things go, Scotland might be out of the World Cup but in the Green household it was all good.  Isobel kicked off the action on Saturday.  She was home from Strathclyde to play in goal for Granite City first team against Dundee University.  A 5-1 win was their first win of the season having had a tough first few games.  Afraid there are no pictures as Julie forgot the camera!

Ellie followed that up last night, skiing in the Robert Gordons A team at the Scottish Schools Ski Association qualifier in Aberdeen.  It was extremely close with Robert Gordons beating all the other teams in the first round robin, including Cults.  In the second round robin Cults struck back with both teams beating all the others.  That left RGC and Cults equal on points so a ski off was required, a best of three races.  Cults won the first, RGC the second but sadly Cults just sneaked the third to take the win with RGC in second.
