This year, we’ve adopted a lovely reindeer called Bernard from the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre in Scotland. He’ll still be living there of course (there’s no room in the office) but he is now officially part of the family.
We’ve grown so fond of Bernard and his pals that, with your help, we want to adopt more of them. For every 50 people who click our Reindeer Love counter to show their support, we’ll adopt another reindeer, until we have a total of 20 in the BD paddock.
Our donations will go towards their food, healthcare and upkeep for a whole year, so with just one click, you could make a reindeer very happy. And not just for Christmas.
At long last, we are sat in the bar of our hotel. We’re absolutely knackered. It’s incredible how sitting motionless on a train can do that to you.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a friendly barmaid called Leigh, who checked us in before explaining, in detail, how to unlock and lock our room door. After assuring her we could manage, we went upstairs, found our room and dumped our luggage, and decided to head downstairs for something to eat.
We couldn’t lock our room door.
After a 10-minute struggle we admitted defeat and went to ask Leigh for help. How embarrassing.
Since the Mackenzies kitchen was now closed for the night, we weren’t able to sample some Scottish cuisine, so settled instead for Chinese (which was still local cuisine in a manner of speaking, as it was just down the road).
We’re going to bed now (in our separate beds) to get an early night so that we’re well-rested and full of energy tomorrow for our mountain walk to see the reindeer. We can’t wait! Just one more sleep!
