Victoria Day

We in Scotland share a public holiday on Victoria Day with Canada and Australia, but not with England it seems. We took the opportunity to do a bit of geocaching at Cammo with Chris, Eloise and Will. We found three caches, and once more proved that kids will walk for miles if they don't realise they're walking. In the afternoon, Holly visited chez Eloise while Louis, Will and I visited the BMX track to work on our cornering skills. The sun shone blissfully throughout, hinting at balmy summer days to come. None of this helps explain the public holiday, but with all due respect to Victorias Pendleton, Beckham and Principal, we were - unlike the queen for which it is surely named - most amused.
