Yee-ha!

That's it. Done.

Bit the bullet this morning and headed into wander the streets with the other confused and panicky last-minute shoppers. Had my two little helpers with me though and, to be honest, as we had planned everything out prior to hitting the shops, the only thing that got hurt was my wallet. We even had time to wander up by the castle and take in the views over the soggy Forth Valley basking in some unexpected sunshine.

Poor Euan's suffering from his first bout of manflu too, but is self-medicating on piles and piles of food (says that's the only thing that makes him feel better) and was happy to come outside and help us celebrate the end of the Christmas shopping underneath one of the brightest rainbows we've seen.

The only upside to all this rain, and pretty spectacular it was too.
