Aberdeen granite

I'd been told the Aberdeen people were like the granite - a bit hard to chip but we moved into a reanted house while we looked round for somewhere to buy, we had lovely neighbours and we settled in quickly. We found a lovely house in a suburb called Cults and the children started at the school up the hill. I said to SD, short for Sullatober Dalton as Sullatober was shortened to Sulla and he hated that. In Cults the houses were quite large and separated by walls so I didn't get to know any of the neighbours quickly and I said to SD that I would just talk to the girls picking up the children at the school. I was a little nervous of just forcing myself in but one of the girls, called Linda, came and asked if I was new and that was that. Linda introduced me to the others and I soon had a circle of friends. They did a stall at the church fete and I made door stops and draught stoppers in the shape of Dougal from the Magic Roundabout and that sort of thing. I must tell you about Linda and the murder next time.
