Now Boxing Day here in sunny Penicuik, and we have just had a wee bit of a snow storm, pity it was not this time yesterday as RGB might have won his bet about it snowing in Edinburgh.
However, a restful and quiet X-mas day was not on the cards for the Blaikie's and Co.
We managed a quick session of unwrapping presents early a.m., and that was after spending hours wrapping on x mas eve , mind you that was for RGB and items for the bar staff bought in the usual last minute rush.
Go Jo and RGB headed off early to see how young Amy and Arron were making out at McMerry .
Reached The Mercat by 11 a.m where Jamie and Andy were hard at work in the kitchen, trying to make up time after a busy x-mas had held them back on their prep work. HOWEVER, not a problem so with a caring team, Mrs b. ; RGB and Go Jo, Sir Christopher and Miss talk a Lot; self and young Scottie the Dining room was all set for our forty guests.
Cutting a long story short , we had a lovely day, our guests thoroughly enjoyed their lunch and all left happy and content, no pressure !!! ( there was a wee bit).
Once we were all tidied up and reset the dining room, we had a brief visit from Tam and Katherine with wee Eilidh, then Go Jo's folks, Jock, Sheila and Supergran Chrissie arrived for a relaxing dinner with the the workers and family.
Some photos of the day - for posterity - in no particular order.
