An autumn weekend at Craigwell Cottage, Edinburgh

16 October 2008

Just beginning to experiment with my new iphone and mobile blogging – so forgive this photo! It was meant to show that the minute we arrived at Craigwell Cottage for the weekend, we kicked back, and relaxed in front of the TV while the kids got ready for bed. No, we’re not crazy! But as [...]
