Freda took along her new pet!
Lesley and her Mum are snowed in up at Craiglea. Meanwhile Ali, his parents, Freda and Edie went for a traditional New Year's Day stroll along the boulevard at Aberdeen beach. The weather was bracing, with a strong wind off the sea and occasional flurries of snow. The girls really enjoyed the fresh air and were fascinated by the crashing waves - we haven't seen much of the sea in recent years, certainly not a energised wintery one like this. We all enjoyed checking out Ali's Dad's new gadget - an in-car satellite navigation system. Very "Tomorrow's World" (or maybe I've been living in Yesterday for the past few years?). "You have arrived at your destination..."

Rules and Regulations
The weather has been very cold the last couple of weeks and the main river (Dee) froze over for the first time in many years (it's thawing again now). At the harbour the scene was like something out of the Baltic with slow moving icebergs filling the basin. Upstream there was even more ice backing up at bridge pillars. It's all so very different from what we see in Simao!
