Freedom From The Mundane - A Writer's Blog

Long lie-ins were the order of the day after the fun of the last two nights. By the time we got the car ready it was 3pm so we headed north in the hope of getting to Aberfoyle before it got too dark. We took a new route by-passing Glasgow entirely; crossing the Erskine Bridge, through Dumbarton and following the narrow road into the village referred to as the Gateway to the Trossachs.

It is truly a beautiful part of the country and a great place to spend the New Year with friends. The lodges themselves are part of the hotel complex but are individual homes complete with balconies overlooking Loch Ard and their own saunas. They have three bedrooms and a couple of bathroom so there is ample room for a dozen folk to crash out. All my good friends were there plus their new family additions and a kids the same age as Laura which kept her happy while the grown ups made fools of themselves.

The party went on until 4.30am.
