Another really odd week this week, but it’s gone by in a flash. From being in Callander and St Andrews last weekend, to preparing to go down to London tomorrow for the Olympics – they start tonight, had you heard? The media’s been pretty quiet about it, so you’d be forgiven for not realising – I feel like I haven’t stopped.
Ahead of trains, tennis, a certain 5 rings and drinking raspberry gin that will no doubt make up next week’s summary here’s this week in pictures – Instagrammers Anonymous – featuring the dog, and raspberry gin.
The dog proved her intellectual capabilities with a book on lemurs and Madagascar.
This view brought a massive smile to my face.
I bottled up my home made raspberry gin – helpfully editing the bottle’s original label and replacing it’s former contents.
And to round it all off I made some muffins from the gin-soaked raspberries and glazed them with some of the actual gin.
Fear not – it is almost the weekend, and I have a week off! Win. Oh, and it’s the Olympics! (not sure I’ve mentioned it enough). Whatever you are up to in the next few days I hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am looking forward to tonight’s opening ceremony and my trip to London.

What do you see when you stare out the window? 
I hope you have a great time in London! Is the event you’re seeing in a new venue or a repurposed one?
Thank you! It’s in a repurposed one, I’m off to see the tennis so I’ll be at Wimbledon. So excited.
Ooh, well that’ll be good. Fingers crossed for some UK medals!
Fingers crossed! I’m so, so excited. Go team GB!
Looking forward to hearing more about the raspberry gin… It looks marvellous!! Have fun in London!!
Well, there was a ‘bit that wouldn’t fit in the bottle’ when I bottled it up the other day, so I can tell you that it’s pretty good. Didn’t have time to properly photograph it though, just took a few quick shots on the dining room table. No doubt they’ll be shared soon. Well, sometime after I’m back. Thanks, I’m absolutely pumped for it now after last night. Possibly a little too excited.
Haha, of course it didn’t all fit. Take one for the team and all though, you know.
Lies, you can never be too excited. Plus, Wimbledon = awesome.
Like a puppy at Christmas. I’m bouncing around the train carriage like nobody’s business.
