Boxing Day in Bridge of Allan

It's been a quiet day in Bridge of Allan.
Sales may be in full swing in the cities but in our small town all the shop are closed and streets deserted.

 
Only the walkers are out, wrapped up against the icy conditions. Oh yes there were half a dozen young men, canoeists who had just reached the weir on the Allan Water river ( pictured) and were putting their gear back into their vehicles. This is an annual event for them providing there is enough water in the river.

We have had fun with our new Christmas gadget, a Fire-stick, and we have finally got it to work.
