St John’s well

I dropped Phin at doggy daycare after breakfast before we got packed and headed to Aberdeen. We were meeting up with one of Mr PHL’s brothers and his wife and Mr PHL’s sister and husband for dinner to celebrate his sister’s 60th postponed from January.

The hotel is really a pub with rooms and the bar was full of rugby fans but our room (whilst a little old fashioned) was clean and comfortable. I couldn’t find the tights I’d packed to wear with my dress so we walked into the city centre to good old M&S so I could buy some more. The city centre is much changed since our last visit but it was a bright, crisp afternoon and it was nice to be out.

G&G had just arrived when we got back so we had a couple of drinks in the bar before getting ready to leave for dinner. Mr PHL’s sister lives in Aberdeen so we just met them at the restaurant.

The meal was lovely and we called it a night around 10 after birthday cake. R&A left in a taxi and we walked back to the hotel and stopped off for a nightcap which turned into a few but it was great to catch up.

As it was after midnight when we got back to the room I didn’t blip so this is back blipped on Monday 14th for Saturday 12th.
