THERE’S a bit of a scramble to get all we need done out the way before we leave for Doune just after 10am.

There’s a hunk of pork shoulder needing cut up and split into stuff for pork stew, carnitas and andouille sausage. I get it done and all in the freezer before we leave.

We’re looking after the kids today and overnight as Catriona’s off to a hen do in Edinburgh.

In the afternoon we take the kids a walk to the park and have a picnic then get them home. Tea, bath, stories and bed.

Will comes in from work just after 8pm and we chat a while and watch Paul McCartney’s Glastonbury set….
