Blue skies, icy puddles and leaf collecting on our walk around the estate today.

My littlest and I are feeling a bit groggy but a wander always helps. We were out for nearly three hours in total, so when we came home he watched a film and I chatted on the phone to my pal. It was a treat of a Saturday really.

The others were up north for a swim meet. My lovely husband had the morning off and went for a cycle on Banffshire roads but was back judging on the side of the pool in the afternoon. The big boys did well, achieving PBS and even a few medals too.

No rest tho', they got home after 7 and will be back poolside in under 12 hours.
