MIDDAY

And it's a lovely day now! A bit on the breezy side but clear blue sky and lots of sunshine.
We've just taken the puppies out for a drive to Rothbury to look at the Old Mill where Christina is setting up her office. What a gorgeous location, looking right over the Coquet Valley. The old water wheel is right outside her window and  the buildings are all centred around a courtyard, with a little stream running down the hillside. There are some private homes and other buildings that have been converted into offices. Admittedly, it's a bit of a trek, and won't be brilliant in winter, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more desirable location. Just hope she gets lots of clients up there! (The golf course is just round the corner, so there's another attraction for these business types!!)
Right, I'm off to finish sorting out the lunch. As usual, James is coming to join us, so the pups will be ecstatic!
Oh, and Charles got up at 10 o'clock. Hurray!!!
