A roller coaster day

After a very good breakfast we took a taxi to the Inverness Crematorium to pay our respects at Donald's funeral.  It was a small Humanist committal but nicely done, and we were pleased to see Irene and the girls were very calm.  I think it helped to have us all there, I do hope so.

After the funeral we had a light lunch in a nearby hotel and were able to chat, always a good thing at these events.  Then Bob, Cali and I went back to our hotel for a bit (thanks for the lift from Johanna) and then we had a walk up to the castle until time for our Gold Bus home.

It was a roller coaster day, sad to say goodbye to Donald, especially on Rhona's birthday, but some happy news too as Rhona told us she is having a baby in October, such good news.

...... and Cali heard that she was successful in the bid for the house.......so exciting......

I have given all these details as this serves as my diary.  The blip is taken of the River Ness from the castle grounds.  This I think is the nicest part of Inverness.  The extra is Flora MacDonald in the Castle grounds.......I hope you like it.  The weather was so nice, and quite warm too
