North Belton Farm

Uncle George at the cottages at North Belton Farm

Guid Mornin - Scottish for Good Morning.  Saturday is upon us.  Got up and went on a walk by myself.  Whilst out walking, snow flurries were coming down.  I got my hopes up that maybe it would snow good, but alas my wish didn't come true.  It stopped about 3 minutes into my walk lol.  Walked about 3 miles alone and didn't manage to get lost.  I think I have been here enough to know where I am and which direction I am going in.  Tomorrow morning I think I will make it a beach walk as I havent been down near the beach or harbor yet. Well after today's walk, I came back home and walked back into town with my mom to get some grocery shopping done.  Stopped in at the Chest, Heart & Stroke charity shop to say hi to Val.  My mom works there as a volunteer too.  Thanks for the coffee, Val - you did an awesome job :-))))  Found a red jacket that I had to have.  Be sure to be looking for it in future photos lol.  After getting the grocery shopping done, we took a taxi back up the road as we had too many bags of groceries to walk.  I think I met the first "unfriendly" Scotsman ever.  Mr Taxi Man was dour-faced, unspeakative and unhelpful.  I think he's in the wrong job lol.  Had some Scotch pies for lunch (yum yum) and then took a bath in preparation for a visit to my Aunt Connie and Uncle George's cottage for dinner tonight.  Love the bath here - its very long where you can lie down and stretch out and your feet don't even touch the bottom.  I am 5"7" so the bath has to be at least 6 foot or longer.  Sorry, but it amuses me as my bath at home is short and it drives me nuts that I cant stretch out and be comfortable lol.  Anyway, I am all cleaned up, prettied up and looking forward to going to the farm.  Hopefully it is still light when we get there so I can see the horses and the countryside.  I am taking the camera so photos will be shared soon.  So I will sign off for now and catch up with the blog when I get home later.  Cheerio !!!! :-)
Ok back again.  Had an absolutely wonderful time at my Aunt Connie and Uncle George's house.  They live in a place called North Belton Farm.  It is located in the countryside of Dunbar.  Surrounded by rolling hills and horses, the cottages are beautiful and I am so jealous they get to live in such a place. So happy for them, but jealous...lol.  I have to live in blah Victorville.  Anyway, my aunt made us Scottish salmon, couscous and potato celeriac, topped off with the best no-bake cheesecake I have ever had.  Thank you, thank you, thank you Aunt Connie and UNcle George for a great evening.  Enjoyed the laughs, the hospitality and the memories.  I will definitely be taking you up on your offer to come visit and stay for a few days.  I am looking forward to it.
Well thats it for tonight folks.  Tomorrow is Nicole's birthday so we are headed to Prestonpans for a visit.  Have a great Sunday and talk with you al tomorrow.  Night Night!!!!
