The Good Life ...


Like the new pad? Archerfield House near Dirleton was home last weekend when the Brydon clan - around 30 family members - descended on the recently-refurbished stately home for part two of Ann's birthday celebration. (To be fair to Ann, she didn't know it was to be part two - the recent Bruges trip was a closely guarded family secret).
It was a tremendous weekend, with absolutely everything laid on - fine food, all the drink you could wish and almost non-stop entertainment. A casino night, golf, go-karting and live music to round off the weekend - with a quiz running over Saturday and Sunday just to make sure that nobody (a) got bored and (b)sat around getting quietly p*ssed! It was an unforgettable experience and lots of fun in the most opulent of settings - I think the bedrooms were roughly the size of my hoose!
How the other half live, eh? Anyway it was back to the real world and sunny Drylaw on Monday to recover - getting too old to handle all these late nights I think!
