We arrived into Edinburgh airport on Monday morning from Dublin, picked up our rental car and headed north to Edzell in Angus. We are staying with Sheila and Gus who we met in Portugal earlier this year. We enjoyed a BBQ in Portugal with them and there friends Nicholas & Veronica so it was only fitting that we enjoyed a BBQ with all of them again on Monday night but this time it was in Scotland.

The weather when we landed into Edinburgh was grey and cool but again as we drove north the sun came out to play – blessed! It was a nice evening and Steve was back in his element cooking NZ lamb on the BBQ. We decided to open some red wine that Sheila and Gus had in their cellar – some of it dated back to the 80’s and 90’s and unfortunately it hadn’t stood the test of time. Steve was cheif bottle opener and six bottles later we had broken cork all over the table from the corked red wine he was opening. Luckily we had some younger reds on hand to help us along with our quiet Monday night in Edzell. It was so quiet in fact, Steve ended up asleep on the floor in the dining room!

Let the good times roll…..
