sunny scotland

Alex had a week off work and he wanted to go to Glasgow and see Martha!. I don't blame him, she's a delight. We stopped off halfway for a look round Lancaster, then tootled up the M6 on Thursday afternoon. We had great fun with Sophie and Tom, and also my cousin Chris was there for a couple of days, so we were able to introduce her to geocaching. Then Sophie and Tom went off for a day and a night to Oban, and Alex and I were left in charge of Martha. We were ok, except not very good at working out how to strap up the car seat or the buggy - in fact we were very slow and pretty thick! Martha will tell you..........

We left yesterday morning and spent a couple of hours in Morecombe as its close to the motorway, and has a statue of Eric Morecombe on the sea front. And now we are back home and it feels like autumn, wet and blowy!

I realise now that I hardly took a photo at all, but here are a couple!

Hello cousin Chris! You all look fabulous with those huge smiles...albeit in the cold! I am surprised those pelicans aren't frozen to death!
