Now how to condense three days of wedding and family into a few photos and words.

My technology didn't extend to sound.

We arrived on Thursday evening, as did Andy and Kirsty (my niece) so we got to meet Andy for the first time.

Friday things got underway properly with a bit of a buffet and some music.

Kate (other niece) on fiddle.

I met Rachael (daughter) and Jennifer (other daughter not in photo) at Aberdeen airport on Friday morning.

First time we'd seen them for a year.

Blairgowrie used to be a linen weaving center and there's a few old large sandstone houses around. This one has become a hotel. Taken over for the weekend of wedding.

Nearly there.

The photographer was very good!

The weather had warmed just enough to be pleasant outside.

Who would have guessed for Easter in Scotland.

The trade off for not doing bridesmaid's duty was to compose and play the wedding march.

First time we've all been in one place.

Some of us hadn't seen each other for more than 15 years.

Photographer moved them so he could take a photo from an upstairs window. I just happened to be in the way.

The band are friends of bride and groom who had a night off for other things.

I think this dance was splitting the willow. One of many that I learned at school but had long tried to forget.

Sunday was a bit of winding down with more music and chatter.

Simplest way to describe the wedding and catching up with family again - well worth the drive!

Many thanks to Kirsty and Andy for giving us the excuse.

A white peacock.

Has to be a first for everything I guess! Never too old to learn.

Bound to be considered symbolic of something!

But for now, how to fill a small empty feeling following our success in arriving here with a new goal. And answer the very difficult question about how long we want to keep traveling.
