So I failed to loose any weight, moving on....
This weekend we drove up north to visit my Granny, which as lovely. Fascinating woman. Hardly talks about the past but when she does she comes out with the most amazing stories. Told us this time about the time Granddad came home from work one day and told her he had quit his job totally out the blue. That was pretty much all we got, just a little titbit of an amazing history.
My Granny lives in New Deer, which is north of Aberdeen. I always feel its not very far away, because you just go through Dundee, passed Aberdeen and you are there. But in actual fact its over 100 miles! Thats further than Nottingham to York! Think of all the places you pass between Nottingham and York. And yet all the way from Dundee to Aberdeen you pass absolutely nothing. Nothing. I still find it fascinating just how much farm land there is in Scotland.
