Marzipan and Mistletoe: Day XXX

Euan’s family all left this morning after breakfast, after a few days filled with good madness. It was fantastic (and hilarious) watching the four cousins play happily, disagree, and negotiate with each other. There are some strong wills in our family.

We also took an impromptu whistlestop visit to Stempster to see my family, which was lovely. The first of the promised snow arrived this morning, but there was barely any north of the firth. There had been torrential rain throughout the night, meaning several of the roads were flooded in patches. More snow is due later this week.

However much time we spend with our families, it is never long enough. Whether hours or days, it feels like we’re only just getting started and it is time to say goodbye again.
