Day out

Yesterday was like a holiday; we had a trip out to Inveraray Castle. The dog was walked round the town and then the outer grounds of the castle first; then we did a leisurely look round. Last of all was freshly baked scone and tea. Delicious. Is it because I am a minister (and therefore by definition interested in other people’s lives) that I was keen to find out as much as possible about the current Duke and his family? Truth to tell I find the very idea of the lives of the very wealthy and titled most strange. Cannot work out whether it would be worth it. After all, they have hoardes of people traipsing through what is basically their country home. At least it is only in the summer. The grounds are very well kept and of course the whole aspect of the castle on Loch Fyne is absolutely stunning.
