It's tough being a carer.

Her son Facetime'd her 3 times a day,  wherever she was.

Despite these things I'm pleased to say that my group thoroughly enjoyed our break in Pitlochry and there was lots of fun and laughter. 
I'm now home and exhausted,  and very glad to be on Annual leave for the next 10 days.
There are more adventures planned though  :)

Thanks for all your comments while I've been away,  and sorry I've not had time to reply.
