I spotted a cute black satchel in the window of a school shop and had to get it. It only cost £29 and have a 20% discount. There were some pretty cute school dresses in the shop I would have been tempted by, if they had come in adult sizes.


At 14:26 Checked in at The Bridge Inn- Ratho with Christine Morley, Tom Waddington, and Brian Morley

I had the mushroom and butternut squash risotto which was so delicious.

They kept following us everywhere we went.

The moss was so green and the snowdrops were coming up already.
