Last Day of Holiday!

Well more or less, but today was the last day of our holiday all together. We got up a bit later and went to bookclub for brunch, always a worthwhile place to go! Then we walked around the vintage fair that sets up in the upstairs bit of the restaurant and Kel and mom got some cute things. Then we went over to Oliver Bonas and shopped around a bit before heading to Oran Mor for a quick pint and then took a taxi out to Auchentoshan Distillery where we went on a tour. From my experience it was the best distillery tour I've been on so far, and the woman who took us on the tour was really nice and it was just the 3 of us with her so it was very fun and informative! Afterwards we tasted some whisky, bought some whisky, and headed out. While waiting for the taxi we got an up-close and personal view of their wee herd of highland cows! The farmer was really nice and got them all to come right over to the fence so we could see them! It was nice to have a chat with the farmer about them while we were waiting, and he said that one of them had been at the Highland Show so we probably saw her! They we all so cute and friendly munching on the grass, and it was so nice of the farmer to bring them over for us. Really a great distillery and place, and I almost didn't want to go! By the time we got back here it was pretty late so we hung about the flat for a bit before going back to Bookclub for dinner, where Kelly finally tried fish and chips and mom finally got her sticky toffee pudding. All in all a pretty good last day if I do say so myself! Now I have work in the morning, so hopefully that all goes well!
