Everyone slept in which was great. You do not realise how tired you are till you stop.
The girls played quietly in their room. Which was great and helped!
David, Lyn and I went for a much needed run. Lyn has a 1/2 Marathon on Sunday and is feeling a little under prepared. David took us towards Sheriffmuir on a defunct local road then off road beside a 'burn' and over some wet and boggy tracks. A short but picturesque run.
Breakfast of cereals including porridge and croissants. Lovely. Lyn and Debbie made a picnic lunch with some minor assistance. We left for Bo'ness Steam Railway.
Had a lovely Steam Engine drawn ride on rail, watched the engine refuel with water, reconnect to the carriages and a few photos. Lunched on the train. It was all run by a local steam rail enthusiasts society, all volunteers. Good fun and interesting.
After this we went to Linlithgow Palace. It is a ruined 14-17 century palace of the Scottish Monarchy. It was fantastic. It is a ruin but is well signed with room information, and you can get to the tallest tower which made your knees wobble to the subterranean well room. It would have been magnificent in its day had it survived Cromwell and other political events. It was fun to explore.
David then took us to a park for an ice cream before the trip home.
Jamie won the International swing jump competition from Ash, Greer, Hannah, David and Lyn. Warren and Debbie were judges.
Home, Chilli con Carne for dinner. Bed.
