I'm going to try and make up for lost time...shame on me for not having posted anything over the summer! I thought I would post some pictures of things we've done and places we've been around Stirling and around Scotland...who knows, may be something nice for you to so too!
David's family house is in Port of Menteith which is about 25 minutes due west of Stirling. The house sits above the Lake of Menteith - not a misprint - a lake not a loch. The lake, on its own, is lovely to visit and the island that sits in the middle of the lake is home to Inchmahome Priory a must see (in my opinion) if you're in this neck of the woods. A few years ago, the lake froze over and it was brilliant! Having come from California, it's quite unsettling to stand and walk on a body of water...to hear the cracking, one thinks that the end is near and that falling through the ice is inevitable but I'm so glad I got over that because I was able to bring forth the inner roller skater in me and try my luck with ice skates...I may not be very good but I have a great time!
Since we had such a lousy winter last year, I'm really hoping that we get a truly cold winter so that I can practice my twirling again!
A great way to spend a long weekend with friends is to go exploring...come home after a day of walking, ice skating or curling, grab your mugs of hot chocolate, and curl up in front of the fire with your pals.
