Donna and John, our guests staying in Aspenwood Cottage, celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary yesterday and we were kindly invited to join them in a toast. As we were enjoying drinks and a lovely cake in the lounge the magical sound of the bagpipes drifted down the driveway. We all went outside to watch and listen. As a surprise to Donna John had organised 'Spud the Piper' from Aviemore to come and play especially for her. We were all amazed listening to this talented man who is in great demand at various venues all over Scotland. He declined the champagne as he had another gig to attend and settled for a cuppa in the kitchen where we all had a good chat and laughs.
After a rendition of 'Flower of Scotland' we all waved him goodbye and watched him walk up the driveway to his car. A very good way to celebrate any special occasion .. so a big thank you Donna and John for letting us share it with you both. Remember to put the sound on.
