Christmas Day

J. D. and Dr Anne were due to go out for Christmas lunch @ 1 but when Dr Anne looked out in the early morning she found it to be sunny, warm although windy.  She decided it was the day to go out round the Durn Hill.  The twasome headed out the A98 towards Boggierow.  Dr Anne decided not to go the railway line as it is prone to flooding.

Windy was a minor statement.  The gusts of wind were lifting the two off their feet. They turned up the road to Fordyce and headed up the Boggierow Brae.  At the turn off, Dr Anne decided to change the walk for a less exposed route.  HA...HA...HA...  As the two headed down to Bogtown in single file, Dr Anne turned round to see J. D. taking off towards the ditch.  Gosh, it was hard work facing into the wind but what else could they do?  V.T. was in Inverness.

They crossed the A98, up the path, along the side of the field to Redhythe.  They had good views of Glenglassaugh Distillery and Sandend before they turned and walked down the old road into Portsoy

The walk took longer than anticipated so it was a quick change and off to Christmas lunch.  Both J. D. and Dr Anne felt like a nap after a champagne cocktail.
