Dad is 80!!

Fitter than the rest of us put together - he still plays table tennis for Scotland in the veterans internationals..Yes I know, I've mentioned that before, and i will again, because it is quite awesome - Dad turned 80 today.

Lucy, cake baking master and grand daughter, made this amazing cake for Sporting Granda, resplendent with a "Mini Doug", or Granda the Greatest as he likes to call himself. With Katie still in China, it was otherwise a full house of the immediate gang with us four, Cheryl's pack, including Alice and Scot and mum's pal Dot.

A rare pic of mum and Dad together. A good one at that. And a lovely meal. Including a random dog. Garlogie Inn, Dad's choice. Another wild weather drive home. So cold.
