Toasty....

Woken at 6.15 by an over-excited 3 yr old.

By 8.30, Iain, myself and the SBG were loaded into the car (with toys and snacks close to hand) and starting our journey up to Oban, for a weekend with Iain's family.

Twenty minutes into the journey, the eldest started asking if we were there yet.
Thankfully we had the audio book of Fantastic Mr Fox (read by Mr Dahl) to distract him, and us.


A clear road with hardly any traffic, and apart from the torrential rain and surface water on the roads, good driving conditions. I opted to drive the whole journey. Well, it was raining and grey - not many blipportunities I reckoned!

An afternoon at Granny and Grandad's, then back to the cousins house for carbs and Frozen for the kids and a takeaway curry for the grown ups. Most of the evening was spent taking the SBG back to their room and trying to get them to sleep.....

When that wasn't happening, I enjoyed staring at the fire.
