We are like the song- we are taking the weather with us and once again
we had a fantastic day. Thyna lent us some bikes and about 1100 we set
out. We leisurely followed the coastal trail from St Combs northwards,
we biked through some very cute fishing villages, saw lots of golf
courses and lots more magnificent scenery. We finally stopped for
lunch about 1530 in Aberdour (lovely beach; nothing else). Went for a
short walk on the stony beach where the schwelchy seaweed freaked me
out - I could write a horror movie about seaweed - yuk!Then under
threat from dark grey clouds we hightailed it across country back
'home' in time for dinner.
After dinner under a setting sun (and the season's first midges) we
and all the neighbours witnessed the first hour of life of a newly
foaled Fresian (horse breed native to the Netherlands). Our
motivation for standing out in the cold was the fact that the foal was
surely going to get up and stand at any moment. It was beautiful to
see and I'm sure everyone present thought that foal should surely
stand just by the force of our collective will. We were all rooting
for him, but he sure knew how to string out the moment for about 30
minutes. Many comic attempts before a big round of (quiet) applause
for the fine fella's first steps.
