Early evening- Bridge of Allan

While walking through Bridge of Allan early this evening a friend stopped and asked if I wanted some more pheasants. He had been shooting today.
 
Well, M greeted the news with less than enthusiasm. His skills at skinning and gutting are going to be tested again.
 
As for Christmas shopping this has turned out to be the easiest on record for us, thanks to online shopping.
 
But for High St retailers I gather it looks like being something of a disaster.
 
When I do venture into the shops its to local ones,especially those dealing with the unusual, quirky gifts.
