Fun with the letter "F"

Evening, friends! It's been a while since I have written. I guess I have been lacking in motivation as of late to write. It has not been for a lack of goings on, though. Since my last post, I think we have visited at least 4 more castles, and searched for Nessie in Loch Ness.

A few weekends ago, we visited two more local castles. The first castle, Castle Fraser, reminded me of a Disney castle on the outside. The views atop the tower were breathtaking too, despite my obvious fear o' height issues. Aubrey and Bryson enjoyed the grounds of the castle most of all. They had some interesting tree carvings, a giant worm that will soon grow "hair" (it had just been planted), and some good old fashioned swings. It was a nice Saturday! :-) On our way home, I had to stop off on the side of the road and have my picture taken in the Rape seed fields. This time of year, the Scottish countryside is full of this vibrant yellow crop.

The next day, we visited Fyvie castle. This is another lovely, local castle. Castle Fyvie is supposedly one of the most haunted castles in Scotland. I have to admit, though, it didn't seem that spooky to me! :-) After a tour inside, we enjoyed some family time on the grounds outside. All in all, it was a really nice weekend with the family.

Well, that's all I have time to post for now...but stay tuned for more about Nessie, Bryson's wee kilt, and more castle visits....missing you all! - W
