Spontaneous morning with Neil! Set off for a walk with him in his pushchair but decided to go by bus to the city centre. Gorgeous colours and countryside on the way. We went to the Art Gallery and enjoyed pancake at the café. Then had a wander round the ground floor galleries and laughed at his spontaneous 'WOW' as we noticed so many things. It's his favourite word at the moment....long may it last.
Afterwards we walked by this statue which has been transformed and now has a water feature base!!! The Granite City is spectacular in sunshine... but so many places now have evidence of emptiness which is such a contrast to the flourishing city I came to when at university. I hope things can change for the better in years to come.
Three good things
1. Freedom to choose
2. Modern buses which accommodate baby buggies.
3. A lovely outing and more fun when we got home.
I think I will make this a regular Thursday activity and keep a little journal of where we go together. 🥰
Nice capture and how lovely to spend a day with Neil. I was in Aberdeen for the first time in ages a couple of weeks ago. I had a look at this area around the statue, which looks rather nice, I thought, but the gardens are far from finished! The Viking exhibition at the art gallery is really interesting as is the Book of Deer - but maybe a little OTT for Neil's interests! I also love the James McBey area of the Gallery.

Thank you for your lovely comments.
I'm Neil-sitting on Wed and Thurs during term time which is lovely! But sometimes afternoons can feel long and a bit drawn out. After today I have a plan. It was such a lovely outing and we can make it a regular happening quite easily. And I'm going to record our activities together with photos and stories for him to look at when he's bigger!!
