Geo: 56.4677, -4.31806Novelty of snow and consequent runny noses is wearing off!! We set off in the sunshine to Culney Gardens to find some red squirrels. It didn't take us long to spot them as one pretty much ran up to the car on arrival! The garden was beautiful. Lots of spring flowers beginning to pop through. There is a lovely walk through the woodland gardens that became a little hazardous in unexpected heavy snow! Once back in the warm, dry car, we were reluctant to head out into the unknown weather conditions again so we drove along Loch Tay to Kilin and back.

Everybody managed the pleasant walk through the forest and thankfully there was more water ... read more

Geo: 49.2871, -123.132Our last full day in Vancouver. There are so many things we are going to miss about this place such as never really having to look before crossing a road as everybody automatically stops. Isaac will miss counting boats every day! Our favourite walk is along the seawall from our hotel to Canada Place. So many wonderful things to look at. Today we headed a bit further afield to Vancouver's famous Chinatown. Very tatty looking but it has a beautiful chinese garden in the middle of it. Isaac had a good run around! In one of the rooms, we found an author signing Chinese books. Turns out he's also the original author of the octonauts books!! We headed back, past Gastown and the steam clock and back to our preferred side of the city. ... read more
