North Belton Farm - Day 2

Good Afternoon everyone.  I hope everyone in the UK isn't blowing away.  Its a beautiful day outside but there are gale force winds blowing through.  Its not a cold wind, just a very strong wind.

WALK THROUGH NORTH BELTON FARM

So I slept very well last night after a delicious supper.  My aunt told me I was a guinea pig for something she had never made before.  I told her I could be her guinea pig anytime lol because it turned out delicious.  We had pork parcels slow cooked in cider.  I went to bed around 10 pm and slept all the way through the night, getting up around 7:30 this morning.  My Uncle George left to go play golf shortly after I got up, and my Aunt and I had breakfast before I took a bath.  My Aunt Connie and I decided to go for a walk this morning, braving the fierce winds outside.  It was quite an adventure being blown around hahahaha.  The winds were so strong they were almost blowing us over at times.  We walked for a couple of miles or so, through Hedderwick Farm and the surrounding areas of North Belton Farm.  It is a beautiful area - we walked down a long country road lined with trees and rhododendrons on either side of the road.  When we got back to the farm, the horses came over to see us.  I think they thought we were going to feed them lol.  My Aunt was telling me that one of the older horses, Charlie likes to eat polo mints lol.  A horse with fresh breath hahahaha.

YELLOWCRAIG BEACH - LOOKING OUT TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

After our walk we kind of just chilled, catching up on some sewing and reading until my Uncle got home from golf.  We had some lunch, then headed out on a road trip.  We went to Yellowcraig and Fenton Barns, driving through North Berwick and Gullane.  Yellowcraig is designated as a Local Nature Preserve and is part of the John Muir Way.  Its a short walk down to the beach and the area is surrounded by woods.  My aunt was telling me that lots of people bring their dogs down to this area to walk them.  There is a lighthouse off the coast and you can see for miles.
From Yellowcraig we headed into Fenton Barns. Its a little shopping area with a farm store and some antique stores.  The farm store had some really nice things in it.  I bought a mug for my collection.  I always take home a mug from Scotland each year I am here, so this is no different lol.  It was interesting walking around the antique stores and checking out the different styles of furniture and goodies.  After our stop in Fenton Barns we headed home, driving through the towns of Gullane, down to Haddington and back to the farm.  Overall it was a very nice day - the wind did not spoil it for us.  We could have done without it, but we had no choice lol.  I will be adding in some photos from today in a little bit.  Hope everyone back in the States is doing well.  I didn't like hearing the news about what happened in Boston, there are some sick people in this world.  Scotland is so peaceful - well at least the part I am in.  Country living is so much more relaxing and easy going.  This is truly where I should be for the rest of my life.
Talk to you all later.  Bye :-)))))
