This was going to be my Easter treat for tonight - a full on Monty Python, Life of Brian fest, complete with popcorn. But instead my good friends persuaded me to stay on after my cup of coffee for a couple of G&Ts, a few more glasses of wine, a prawn curry and a caramel Magnum!

I've got such fabulous friends!!!

Maybe tomorrow night for Brian then?

(And in case you're wondering, the photo is from Doune Castle, location for much of the filming for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with which my big sis and I had great fun this last summer. Oh yes!)

Looking for a shrubbery

Today we paid homage to the great Monty Python with a visit to Doune Castle, location for some of the filming of the epic Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Lots of silly singing followed, with one very confused and bemused 6 year old in tow. He religiously looked for shrubbery, rabbits, swallows and witches - but then declared he'd much rather go to Kings Park to play on the slides instead. I think Monty Python would have approved.

We did, however, see a Minstrel (who followed us round the castle, fortunately not commenting on our bravery or otherwise) and a pair of coconut shells being used!!
