Evening!  

Have been on a "mini-break" as one of my friends would say, 

Hubby and I were away for 1 night,  we stayed in lovely Hotel in Broughty Ferry, Dundee

and today we visited St Andrews!  Had a great time, but blimey it was Brrrr.

  I was thankful I had packed my boots, and gloves - but could

have done with woolie hat too!  The joys of Scottish Weather.

Now that I am home, indoors, nice and warm

it's time to give you a post of the day!
