Up to Aberdeen - the journey

For those of you who don't know, Simon's dad is building a straw bale house in Aberdeen. Last week we (me, Della, Simon and my parents) went out to help. Well Simon and Granda Len mainly did the work while me and Grananne mainly looked after Della. Simon cheated and got the train up as he was staying longer!

So Della has been to Cambridge, she has even been to New York! But never has she spent eight hours in a car going to Aberdeen. As you can see, it started well with giggles in the back seat...

However, it turned out that Della needed more breaks than we would normally take if traveling without a baby. So every couple of hours we were out of the car, having a snack, having a walk and cooling down...

This is a cafe, not someone's kitchen!
