02 April 2010 - St. Andrews

Today we headed up to St. Andrews. Ange and Amber seemed to spend about 400 years in a shoe shop while I paced the streets finding the best cake shop - one that sells HUGE fairy cakes.

We then drove up to Kingsbarns for a walk on the beach before stopping off just outside St. Andrews on the way home to get this pic:

25th May 2008 - St. Andrews, Secret Bunker, Crail

Today we headed up to St. Andrews for a picnic on the beach, unfortunately as it was so windy we just sat in the car but did get to see the view.


Next stop was the "Secret Bunker", which was used during the Cold War and not - as we all assumed - during World War 2.





On one of the walls in one of the rooms was this Army recruitment poster.


Next stop was Crail for a look at the shops and some galleries. We found this lovely big round stone:



And the two no 46's.

10th May 2008 - Charlotte - Day two

After a leisurely breakfast we set off on todays road trip. First stop was St. Andrews for a toilet break then we headed up the road to the beach at Kingsbarns for a picnic.



Short jaunt up the road to Crail and after some rather expert parking we wandered down to the harbour. En route Charlotte ran into some people she knew who are in the band Belleruche and who were performing at the Jazz Bar in Edinburgh - its a small world.





Stopped off again in St. Andrews for cake on the way home then drove back through the driving rain to the cottage.
