New years day 2013

After saying good bye to Louise, Scott and my mum and dad we headed to Edinburgh to see the Moscow state circus.  It was a fantastic show with acrobats, gymnastics, clowns, jugglers and tight rope walkers. I have only seen the Blackpool tower circus before but this one was jaw dropping. I think I will be booking into cirque du soleil when we hit Disney world later this year.

Happy new year

We spent new year at Biggar helping light the bonfire.  Normally it's just the adults that have real torches but this year they brought back children's ones.  Neive and Beth had a ball and couldn't believe they actually were acthally getting to hold real fire torches.  Needless to say Neive managed to carry her torch all the way in the procession and throw it in the bonfire.  Beth however, after a lit torch nearly got poked in someones eye incident, had it taken off of her before we even started.  They didn't manage to stay up for the bells but Beth managed till 11.20.  Fingers crossed for next year.
