The very front of Glamis Castle.
Posing with Robert the Bruce after the re-enactment. L.to R. Catherine, Jessie, Robert the Bruce, Mom, Stefen, me, and Aiden.
Carol, her kids, John and Jessie, Mom, Dad, me and now another old Gauldry neighbor, Catherine, all met for lunch today in Brechin. After, we went to Glamis Castle (the Queen Mum's family home) for the re-enactment of the signing of the Arbroath Declaration (seemed to me like some sort of a peace treaty during the 13th century). It starred Robert the Bruce. Quite interesting. We also toured the grounds but as we've all been to Glamis before (I thought of you today Anne, and our 4 star picnic) we did not pay the price to get inside the castle. After that, Carol and family went back to Inverness after spending the weekend with us and we all went back to Brechin for tea and strawberry tarts.
Tomorrow, we will be leaving for Manchester, England to return "Van Diesel" and head on to Chester, England. (Are you following me on the map, yet?) Then we will go onto catch the ferry at Portsmouth to Normandy, France. I'm hoping to have internet on Dad's computer by then (cross your fingers) so will try to update the blog again daily. If not, no scathing emails, please. ;)
