Our office gives a panoramic view of the Sheffield peregrines hunting over the city. One's just caught something and retired to the top of the town hall for brekkie.

Drove up to Aviemore over night on Friday, dropping her middle one at the eldest in Leeds on the way
A very steady Saturday (Loch Garten and Aviemore shops with a haggis tea) and an early night
Attacked Ben Macdui at dawn. Three and a half hours walking (uphill) later was able to see this
Bird of the day, the week, the year, the decade.
Incredible. It is huge, about 2 feet tall.
We did carry on to bag the munro then came back seeing the owl again on the way down
I was flagging a lot by the end (Kendal mint cake fig rolls and jelly babies kept me going)
GPS reckoned it was a 12 mile walk
Had the fillet of beef for tea
Very early to bed
Left at 9 after breakfast
Got back at 11 last night (picking up middle one on the way)
That is what I call a weekend

That sounds genuinely lovely. Nice one. Treasured memories in the making.
