Yippee!

I visited the site once up in Aberdeen on an open day, but I think they
might have moved since then. It was funny, Carol thought she knew me
No, I had never met her previously)



That's interesting. I find it hard to mentally manoeuvre round their
plot, it seems 'bitty', but the individual units are interesting. I
think they're still in Aberdeen though, so they may not have moved far.

Odd that Carol thought she knew you. Perhaps you have a doppleganger.


The original Beechgrove Garden was at the BBC Scotland place in the
city of Aberdeen (went past it, but did not visit). They needed more
room, so the new place is a bit out of town.
Here is a link to a map of the site, on their website:
