* * * * * * * Ishbel's 11th birthday which is December 31st * * * * * * * * * *
We spent a week at Andrew's holiday house in Cruden Bay... a wonderful 8 bedroomed Victorian house built (by wealthy industrialists) in the 1860s when the railroad brought summer holiday makers to the north-east of Scotland. The railroad has gone but the houses remain.
The best part of a birthday is putting the Smarties on to the cake and blowing out the 11 candles.
The library had a fire. John brought along a couple of jig-saw puzzles.
Kings and Queens of England ... Done!
The conservatory was full of toys for little people. What better than a lovely wooden doll's house!
