Eggs on Legs

Hullo!! We did a big fat trip a wee while ago covering Bonnie Scotland (our home), France, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and China. Then we came home and had a lovely baby girl called Beth and Alan went back to work. Beth is 14 months old now (I know - where does the time go??) and we haven't been anywhere exotic for yonks. Consequently we are now 'dormant bloggers' which makes us feel a bit dreary, so we better get our skates on and find some good places to visit and report on pronto!!.................... full info

Shaz & the ''weans''.

Shaz, Alan and Dom b4 the horse riding.

We were a wee bit nervous.....

But not as nervous as the horses.

They are all standing round going to each other 'oi, I hope I don't get that big one with the baldy heed!'

Has ayone else noticed how much Alan likes making faces for the camera?

Shaz & Dom - best buds.

Alan says it's cos they are both the same mental age (13).

Working bee hive at the waterworks place we visited.

Wish we could remember what the place is called

Al & Dom on the waterhose bikes.

What you had to do was pedal really hard then lots of water came scooshing out a hose at the front. Looks like they are having a pee, but we think it's supposed to.

Alan on the Flying Fox...

..handling it realy well.

Shaz on the Flying Fox

...screaming like a big girls blouse.
