Christmas Shopping

Mr M and I had a day in Inverness yesterday to try and do some Christmas shopping. We had thought of heading to Perth for a change, but the forecast was pretty awful and the A9 was closed in a couple of places - so although I was dreaming of a couple of nice shops I had been to before in Perth - we had to be sensible and headed off to Inverness instead.

On the way up, there was a bit of snow on the hills and the sky was certainly threatening more snow. Inverness was busy but not chaotic and we managed to get a few things we needed. It's one of the drawbacks to living where we do, that you just can't pop out for a wander round the shops. You have to go, look and decide all in the one trip!

We treated ourselves to a lovely Christmas lunch at The Mustard Seed - Mr M had a very outrageous Christmas Pudding Sundae - I was glad I booked as soon as we arrived, as it is often busy and is a real treat if you are in Inverness for the day.

The Christmas lights were lovely and we had a long journey home through a bit of snow - it was nice to get home and think that was the shopping done for this year.
