Stirling

In the last 36 hours I have:

# driven to Stirling in the pure pissing rain

# been to two castle & a mansion house

# nearly went in the jail but changed my mind

# took a slight unnecessary detour through Hamilton. I wasn't lost. Just got in the wrong lane at this massive roundabout and had to go a different route than I'm used to...

# laughed at Masters and Servants

# climbed up Dollar Glen.

# saw some boats going through the locks on the Union Canal

# saw same boats on a big wheel

# went to an exhibition of EH Shephards drawings and paintings called "the Man who drew Pooh"

# got very wet

# resisted the urge to buy three recipe books for £10

# took a picture of the pineapple

# went to a graveyard

# went to a battlefield

# learnt something

# climbed the hills in Stirling way too many times

# ate a lot

# took 27 photos

# made a yummy pasta dinner with cup a soup, tuna, a handful of mixed veg and raw spring onion.

So there you have it.
