Autumn time....

Once the rain had stopped, I took my charges to Lauriston Castle - again.

We were all annoyed that we'd not thought about bringing bramble boxes, as there were loads of ripe ones still on the bushes.

Instead, we amused ourselves by trying to catch the leaves falling from the trees. It's harder than you think.

After work it was an evening of trying (and failing) to construct more furniture, baking a gateau and managing one episode of Sons of Anarchy before bed.
