It sounds a bit funny to say that it was all a bit of a rush this morning as the girls weren't going horse riding until 11 but their refusal to get up when called meant that everything was a bit tight.
Still, they had a great time and took in some beautiful views along the loch on a really lovely day.
Dawn and her brother walked along to Urquhart Castle and encountered a feuding German couple who were having a really good go at each other, much to their childrens disgust.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we seem to have been invaded with some wildlife visitors today, firstly a bat
and then a pair of similarly marked butterflies that became trapped in the kitchen
and to make matters worse, Dawn sat out on the balcony today for a little too long and will be paying the price for the next couple of days methinks!
Trying to get the kids to pack up their stuff and get organised for the (comparitively) early start tomorrow has been interesting. They say they have packed their bags yet there are still clothes and shoes strewn all over the house so I'm just waiting to see how long they stay there and whether they'll notice. At this time they are all too concerned with watching Tom Daley in the Olympics.
It's been lovely up here, with some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery I've ever seen. I'm sure we've all enjoyed our Highland Fling and tomorrow it's back to Edinburgh, where I hope we'll continue enjoying good weather. We're staying in a different part of the city - Marchmont Road - and have a busy schedule, catching up with Dawn's sister and family on Sunday before spending the day at the Festival on Monday, meeting some friends from Leigh-on-Sea in the evening who fly up for a few days and then coming back home on Tuesday.
