Hi everyone

Sorry we have been unable to access an internet lately, but now got one in Paris – Tuesday evening – you will be all waking up soon on Wednesday.

We started our Saturday in Kirriemuir and sent our last blog from there. Its a charming little town – birthplace of JM Barrie who set us all up with Peter Pan etc.

Next stop was Glamis Castle – spectacular sight to enter the massive gates and view the long drive with the royal castle at the end. This is where the Queen Mother grew up – north of Dundee in Scotland. It was then on to Dundee where we experienced their tremendous hospitality – being so well helped to find Hertz.  Visited SA across the road then a bit of shopping. Travelled on to Alva where Raelineès great great grandparents had lived.  Found many family names (Rennie) in cemetery. Ochill Hills just behind the little town. Then visited Stirling Castle briefly and headed for Edinburgh for the night.

Sundqy ,orning walked the Royal Mile from the cqstle at top to Holyrood Palace at bottom – twice over. Saw new Scottish Parlianenbt buildings before attedning SA at Gorgie Corps. Made very welcome.

Then travelled thru rain to Paisley – other side of Glasgow. Checked into q very nice B and B then took off for Dumbarton – where another great great grandmother grew up. Visited cqstle and town.

Monday mornig had brief trip to airport – snoothly thru systems of Easyjet to Paris. On arriving here what an interesting time trying to get to Formula One accommodation close to airport. Got directed via central Paris – carted bags for over 2 hours to get there but finally did. Late Monbday afternoon quick look at Louvre buildings then to service at Notre Dame. Walked some of Champs de Elysses. Looked around Arc de Triomphe then home – had it.

Tell you about today next time – time is up.

Love to all.

Peter and Raeline
