We had Neighbourhood Fellowship at Wilma's on Wednesday evening, her conservatory was lined with different bouquets of beautiful flowers, the smell was wonderful! I was going to take a photo of each bouquet and create a collage, but then I spotted this bunch of pretty pink somethingorothers, inside a pretty teapot, and I knew it deserved a solo appearance :)

I decided to do a little work on my chalk writing skills this evening...nothing spectacular, but it's better than all my previous scribbles. Haha. I want more chalkboards in my house...

This is definitely one of my favourite Bench Mondays :) Check out the lanky legs on those girls...haha. One of the things I loved about Katherine's friends flat was their balconies! Yeup, balconies plural. And out on their front balcony they had their own wee herb garden, nestled inside a pallet, I loved it! Check out the cute wee watering can :)

After two nights in Glasgow, it was off to Edinburgh for the night, ready to meet a client the following afternoon to discuss her December wedding :) And it meant I got to see this lovely lady! I was absolutely in love with her friends flat, and if I lived in Leith I would definitely be renting one of these beauties.

It was wonderful enjoying a night of tea, cookies and chat with Katherine :)

I got a rather humorous photo of Roddy at the wedding, trying to get the attention of the entire wedding party for the big group shot, but I thought I'd be nice and show y'all the pretty ducks in Loch Lomond instead!

I was down in Glasgow for the weekend, assisting Roddy at another wedding, and I got to stay with my aunt and uncle, and my two adorable little cousins!


When I left Aberdeen at lunch time, it was cloudy and cold, so I was wrapped up...when I reached Glasgow, however, it was absolutely roasting and the sun was blasting down! I had to run an errand in the town centre and kind of melted a bit in the process, so it was extra nice to get to my Aunts house and relax in the shade of back garden, while the kids had some bubbly fun, along with one of my other aunts, who joined us for dinner.

So, this morning, 4 friends and I walked up a local hill called Bennachie, at 2am, to watch the sunrise :) We'd been at Stonehaven, enjoying some ice cream on the beach at sunset, the night before, and decided to be crazy and go on a sunrise adventure! It wasn't quite the longest day of the year, but we couldn't manage it on the Friday, and it was overcast and raining that night, so it's just as well we did it on the Wednesday!

We left the car around 2am, walking up throw the dark forest, with a big heavy torch to guard against grizzly bears and bunnies. We got up top around 3am, leaving us about an hour until sunrise...and although we were roasting walking up the hill, the chill kicked in once we were sat at the top, so we were very thankful we'd brought our sleeping bags and slankets!

We enjoyed some munchies, hot chocolate and coffee, had a wee power nap, and then it was time for the big event! 4:09am. It was incredible how quickly the sun rose up; within 5 minutes it was above the horizon...and behind some clouds. Haha. So we quickly snapped a very grainy photo of the group, packed up and began our descent, back to the car...looking forward to bed!

It was a beautiful sight, and a fun adventure :) Next time I think I'll just watch the sunrise from the beach though...my lungs would prefer that.
