Brae. A gay woman's tale!

Ros and I had a great couple of days up in Elgin a few weeks ago … and it gave us both the “bug” to get out there and enjoy ourselves!

For the past few months my life has revolved around taking funerals or sitting at home (not that I mind that much!) … and Ros has been stuck at home, only going out to do shopping!

Our wee trip away was great … we had some great walks and visited all the lovely little fishing villages along the Moray and Aberdeenshire Coast, but it was a flying visit, so we decided to go back for a few more days for Ros’s birthday.

This morning we decided that 3 nights away wasn’t long enough … thankfully work has picked up for me again (although I had a lot of funerals on, most of them, due to only having 6 people present, were just quick committal services, which I didn’t charge full price for).

Now that work is more “normal” than it was (still a way to go) … I have decided to stop worrying so much about money and just enjoy it …. although I still like to look for bargains LOL

We are off to Burghead for Ros’s birthday, to a static caravan on the seafront and then travelling down to Johnstown to a seafront hotel … the “dugs” will love it!

After losing both holidays this year, we both needed a couple of days away… I managed to find a really good deal in Elgin. Cheap because the spa and pool were closed, breakfast was “grab and go” (croissants, biscuits and fruit in a bag to eat in your room)… but I thought I would book it!…

Off we went with dogs in tow to find that we were one of only two couples booked in!

The hotel “Eight Acres” was great… nice room that was spotless and the staff were brilliant!… because the restaurant was closed they suggested using Just Eat to order dinner, which we did and the hotel gave us cutlery and crockery!

We had a fantastic time … we were lucky with the weather and travelled the whole of the coast line from Spey Dolphin view point to Fraserburgh!…, dogs loved it all and wee Pixie loved swimming… fatso Sprout didn’t even like paddling!… It was only two nights but really feel the benefit of it!

It’s the lugs (ears for you non Scots).
