Aviemore and the reindeer

Last weekend we had what has turned out to be an annual visit to the reindeer herd in the Cairngorms. What 5 years ago was just the 4 of us has now grown to the extent that there were 20 children this time. The weather was fantastic with blue skies and snow and everyone had a great weekend skiing   (on the dry slope, the snow is only just getting enough for the real runs), tobogganing and going for a walk into the hills to feed the reindeer herd.

We came back to a flood in Rose as the shower pipe had come off just down from the pump and water had been squirting everywhere all weekend..... Several days later all is dry again.

Hydrangea has now been put back together after pulling the walls down in the two end bedrooms to insulate up to modern house standards. Hopefully in conjunction with the insulation we did in the bathroom a couple of years ago people should now feel a real difference.
