Carron Water

Today's the day ........................ for a different view

I've never been on this road in the summer.  In fact, the last time I was on it earlier this year, it was covered in snow.  Needless to say, Will was driving then.  I was so scared that I pulled the woolly hat I was wearing down over my eyes so I couldn't see where we were going - and just prayed that we would make it out of there alive.
