Wednesday 16th was the start of half term for Tom & Lily so as Nick had the week off work as well we drove up to Glenshee for a day on the slopes.
Not sure if you can see from the photos or not but Lily doesn' t look too happy, this was her first introduction to Poma's or button lifts and T bars. Needless to say it didn't go too well and she fell off and was dragged a few times before getting the hang of them!

Also, being Scotland it was a total whiteout at the top of the mountain so that made the skiing difficult too. After a few hours Lily & I stopped and left the boys to it for another hour before we all jumped back in the car for the drive home. Then on Friday Nick & Tom went off for a hill walk on the Lomond Hills whilst Lily & I took it easy at home.

We had a quiet weekend and week this week culminating in much excitement today as Prince William & Kate were in town and Tom had been chosen by his Headmistress, along with Sara, to present Kate with a bouquet of flowers. How fantastic is that?

Touched by the future King of England, I was able to stand in a prime spot in front of all the press photographers and take pictures and then when Wills & Kate went on walkabout I managed to blag one of the photographers ladders so I was above everyone standing in the crowd and was able to take some fabulous shots of William as he made his way along the
crowds of people.

What a fantastic day, I'm still on a high and I didn't even get to talk or shake hands with him. Oh and Tom was also on the ITV & STV news (albeit in a blink and you'll miss it kind of way!)
