Clifton and I lived in a flat in Aberdeen for 6 months and became increasingly annoyed that we did not have a garden or a cute granite home. Aberdeen is called the 'granite city' and the homes in the city of Aberdeen are built from granite. So after living in Kepplestone for 5 months we started to look for homes in the area. We are so excited about our new home and absolutely feel we made the right decision in moving. Though, in typical Scottish form we move in and the hot water wasn't working or any of the radiators in the house except for one in the spare bathroom that felt like a sauna anytime you opened the door. Coming from America you would think those things would be checked but nope a lovely reminder that we live in Scotland and things like that are pretty typical. Customer service is not a priority here! Obviously! Yes, they did get everything fixed about three days later so we do have hot water now and radiators that work but our dryer is now starting to give out. I guess we can get clothes lines like everyone else here, but I don't feel right about hanging my undergarments outside for the whole world to see, but no one else seems to care.
We are so happy in our new house and sit outside as much as possible considering the temperature is only nice enough for that about three months out of the year. I also love all the character that this home has like the fireplace, crown molding and chandeliers. So lovely!
Attached is a video of our new place and one of the events from the Highland Games that is talked about in an earlier post.
