Stobo So Long




On Monday morning I left Mae with her grandparents and bussed it to the big city. Edinburgh, 15 minutes away. But it felt like 20 years and I felt like a teenager again!!!


I went browsing at loads of shops, smiling the whole way, then went to meet my BFF (best friend forever, in teenage speak) Sharon! Yay! We are on our way to STOBO CASTLE!!!



What a great night. We spent the evening and next morning in our bathrobes (and recently bought slippers for me and zip up boots for Sharon, which looked quite retro dominatrix. If it was the other way around it would have been v.v. bad but she pulled it off!!


I was coated in mud and wrapped in clingfilm. Heaven. Sharon was a dragon with a ball (ask her).

Our every whim was catered for, food was great and the alcohol was even better because there was no possibility of having to sober up in the case of a sick or injured child. Bliss!!

And how long does this wonderful day last? Mine wore off about 8 minutes after I got home.

I need to go again. Now.
