Banchory Lodge

For the second time in four months, and for the second time in four days we have had lunch out. We were lucky to be out as the weather was very variable, and there had just been a shower, by the time we had had lunch it had really clouded over. In the afternoon there were several very heavy showers.

There were only a few tables on the terrace where we sat, and they were well apart. This was the first time I have ever been there and it made a good first impression.

This was the second birthday within a few days, and on this occasion Cosmo was able to join us. She had great fun after lunch chasing a ball on the lawn. During lunch she was very polite and sat quietly under the table.
