Our Aberdeen Hosts

Mum and I have been truly spoiled during our week in Aberdeen. To give you a good example of the limits our hosts went to ......... yesterday, I happened to mention my yearning for a bakery fresh rowie and ta-da - look what Euan snuck out to get for our last morning! Still warm, flaky, buttery, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Another Aberdeen dream come true :)

Euan and Sheena live in the Bridge of Don, a lovely area in north Aberdeen.

They have a beautiful home and made us feel very welcome, not only with their warm hospitality, but by offering us everything we could possibly need to make our stay easy and comfortable. Last year when mum and I were in Scotland, I toyed with the idea of renting a car this year and doing the driving myself. I really don't know what I was thinking. I've been a front seat passenger for all of our wonderful driving tours this week, and my conclusion is that you could not pay me enough to get behind the wheel of a car in Britain. The right side of the car, the left side if the road, spinny roundabouts, ignoring your Canadian instincts on these fast paced, windy roads - no thank you m'am. And a big thank you Euan! You were an awesome chauffeur!

This lovely state of the art kitchen was where we enjoyed gourmet home cooked meals almost every night! Scottish favourites (remember the pic of the haggis and mince and tattles?), Euan's specialties - it was all scrumptious! We were truly spoiled. Have I mentioned that?

This was one of the amazing meals - mustard chicken, tattles, veggies. Mmmmmmm.

It wasn't just me who loved Naboo!

Thanks Euan and Sheena. We have loved spending the week with you, sharing special memories and creating such wonderful new ones!
