Huntly Castle

A long leisurely breakfast, followed fairly quickly by coffee and my mother - in - laws gorgeous flapjacks, or flashbacks as they have become know in our family, while everyone hung around doing autumnal in service day things: raking leaves, getting poppa to play monopoly, playing FIFA, building a car ramp with a splash at the end, folding laundry, sewing scout badges and so on.

The middle boy fish for a swim with his super swimming grandfather and the eldest practiced his ukeleke and his flute while the littlest, granny and I hung out in the garden.

In the afternoon we went to Huntly to the ruined castle for an explore and basked in the beautiful autumn glow and afterwards played hide and seek amongst the golden leaves.
