Judi back at St Andrews

Saturday and Sunday

Today Judi arrived back in St Andrews after 5 weeks in Australia. The weather had been fine and sunny for a few days prior to the weekend, but on Saturday it was 27 degrees.

All the travel arrangements for the return to St Andrews had gone perfectly according to plan in terms of car pick-ups, takeoffs, landings etc, and Judi was back at our house half an hour before what she thought could be the earliest time for her arrival. The plane had landed at Glasgow on schedule,  passport control had been very quick, and the cases were some of the first to appear.


Judi proceeded through Customs and was in the car heading to St Andrews within 40 minutes of landing. Lloyd was lying in the garden in the sun (it was 25 degrees here), so was ready to greet her as she came through the gate.


St Andrews Harbour
 We decided to take advantage of the sunshine to walk down to the harbour and along East Sands beach before any unpacking was undertaken. Once home, we enjoyed afternoon tea together on the patio in the sunshine.

On Sunday, we had to assemble things (packing again!!) to head off to the Ardtornish Estate on Monday morning. The website link for this house (in particular, the Nursery Flat that we are renting) is: http://www.ardtornish.co.uk/Pages/NURSERY_FLAT.asp

In the afternoon, we walked again - this time to West Sands beach. On the way we passed Edgecliffe, the building that houses the Philosophy department, and where Lloyd has been delivering his weekly seminar.
