It's Boxing Day

Oh the weather outside is frightful

A table with six settings on a red table cover with cutlery, glasses, cocktails and Christmas crackers.

Christmas Day is over for another year and we’re now being allowed to watch Die Hard on TV on Boxing Day. Some members of the family have decreed that it is NOT a Christmas film...but let’s not get into that argument. 


Five-sixths of the family plus the dog managed to climb Dunnideer in the hope of wearing off some of yesterday's calories. One of them decided he’d never do it again and promptly collapsed into bed on coming home. His even older companion, the one-sixth who knew better than to even attempt the climb, snickered gently. 


One of the youngest managed to ride his new, already beloved mountain bike almost to the top and managed to ride it all the way down, terrifying the rest of the family with his speed. He, though, enjoyed every minute and will no doubt be doing it again soon. 


The very youngest complained the whole way up and back, but her wee legs still managed to carry her the full distance. 


The dog collapsed into his bed and barely moved for the rest of the day. 


Goodbye, Boxing Day. Normal service will (probably) be resumed tomorrow.
