It was Christmas dinner at the Grant Arms this lunch time so we had a quick walk up to the Viewpoint behind Grantown. From the top you have seen photos of the Cairngorms so today I tried the black and white function on this new camera. So, what do you think?
Do you like the atmospheric b&w or the lovely blue sky of the colour one? Answers on a postcard...
If you look very closely you can see Ben Rinnes, the mountain of the rocks on a previos blog. This view is north and slightly east. If you keep on you would end up on the Moray Coastal walk (also previously featured).
Dinner at the Grant Arms was excellent. The hotel is now a centre for wildlife, particularly bird watching holidays. Their lecture hall is available for local groups too...which is why we had our U3A dinner there. Posh hats, party poppers, blowy things, silver crackers and huge amounts of food, all warm and well cooked. Poor deaf Dad couldn't hear anything for the noise which interfers with the hearing aid but he tucked in well and what was left over, the dogs have had for their dinner tonight.
Sadly Ralph is still in York. His dad's funeral is tomorrow. Then he goes to his work's do which will be a lot more rowdy I expect, despite our party poppers at U3A (average age circa 75)!
