After breakfast we packed what was left to pack in our bags. Most of the packing had been done last night.
We booked our Ember bus and handed in our keys then we were off into the town. I took a few shots on a lovely, but cold day with the blue skies we didn’t get yesterday. We walked along to the bus stop and watched a wee boy dressed in wellies and a waterproof jacket splashing through the fountains lit from below with coloured lights. I don’t suppose he noticed the cold. He was having far too much fun to care. Got the bus and before we knew it we were stopping at the bus stance at Broxden in Perth. Under an hour later we were arriving in Cumbersheugh and had to wait another 20 minutes for the bus home.
Scamp was feeling the cold when we got in and that’s really strange for her, so I walked down to the shops to get potatoes and some fruit. Tonight I made potatoes and cabbage for dinner with some fried bacon for me.
We watched and complained about The Apprentice and I know I wished we had stayed another day in Dundee.
Just over 30 photos taken and PoD was The March of the Penguins.
Some things I’ll remember:
- Clean, fast Ember bus
- The view from the 5th floor of the hotel
- Generous dram of whisky with just water
- The views of the V&A
- How ugly the V&A is from certain angles
- The fast jets practising near Leuchars
- The food in the Dundee Rep restaurant
- Helpful, cheerful staff at St Andrews Castle
- Cheerful staff in the hotel
- The cold east wind
Tomorrow it’s back to the old regime.
