Murder at Deadwood Saloon

All dressed up as Anna Belle (the Southern Belle) and Gambling Jack for our friend Clare's 40th birthday murder mystery party.

With Holly "Hussy" Hickok and "Black Barbara".

And even the Sherrif was in town.

Anna's first and Mel's first day (back) at school

Applecross

Iconic Eilean Donan Castle on the Western Coast of Scotland.

We decided not to pitch the tent for our last night and hired a wigwam in Applecross instead.

Learning to spin at the Applecross Heritage Centre.

Chess at the famous Applecross Inn (while Anna spies out the dessert, below)
