This is what it feels like when I pack now. Packing and traveling with Euan is a big job- so much to bring and I still forgot a few things.
We are in Scotland for the week, half business and half pleasure. First stop...Elgin for the business. Steve found us an beautiful B&B called The Lodge run by Marilyn and David. The reviews are true- the breakfast is awesome!
Elgin is Scotland's smallest city, situated in the region of Moray about 36 miles from Inverness and 64 miles from Aberdeen. Elgin is a administrative and commercial capital of Moray, has a flourishing city center with many of the high street names and unique range of specialist shops. Nestling in the world famous whiskey country, Elgin has famous brands such as Glen Moray- Distillery, Johnsons of Elgin cashmere mill and Gordon & MacPhail on it's doorstep. Baxters of Fochabers is a few miles east and Walkers of Aberlour is south of Elgin.
I will be going up to Stonehaven where Daddy Walker was born and will have the pleasure of meeting my great Aunt Margaret. I just got this super sweet email from my Dad pertaining to my visit:
Hi Christy, We lived in Cowie Village just passed the outdoor swimming pool. When I was in the Navy I stayed in a hotel (The Royal, I think) in Stonehaven because I did not know where my Aunt Margaret lived. The hotel staff found my relatives for me and told a reporter. The next day a picture was in the paper of myself and my Aunt and the caption was "Junior detectives help Canadian Sailor find relatives." After that, I moved into their place at 19 Thompson Terrace I believe where I was born. My cousin Hazel worked in a pastry shop and I met a girl there and started to go out with her, her name was Mimi Malcomb, not sure of the spelling. I'm sure that Aunt Margaret will tell you more. Dad xoxo
I am really looking forward the visit- Maybe we will stay at The Royal too! Well Husband is home after a long day and we are off for an outing. xoxo
