hi ho hi ho it's off to Edinburgh I go....

Today, I'm heading south, all by myself. My darling hubby has let me out to play for a few days. I'm looking forward to lots of R & R, coffee and girls chat with my mate Penny. We are staying on the Royal Mile for those who now the now the area. Look out Edinburgh here we come. See you when I get back.. :)

Big Spend day.....£££££££or$$$$$$$

Well today I booked my tickets to come to Australia, very very exciting stuff!!!! Even better was the I booked all 5 ticket for under £3000...don't convert it you Aussies it sounds better in pounds. Well it is 10 weeks and 1 day till I back in the land of sunshine, Tim tams, and cherry ripes. I'm really looking forward to my trip home, I now have to work out how to catch up with everyone, and it is going to be really busy with all the final wedding prep. It's so hard because mum and dad are in Tamworth and we really want to spend a lot of our time with them, but then there is all our Brissy friends we want to see too. I think we will need to do an open day somewhere so everyone can come and see us...I'll think on it. It would be good to have our place to stay but I think I'll be commuting from Toowoomba where my sis will have a place. Anyway I'm so very excited.

The only down side will be coming home in November to short, dark, cold, wet days!! :(

Oh and I booked 2 days away in Edinburgh for ME tonight too, staying here for some much needed R & R. I have friend coming to stay one night, I'm looking forward to eating my food while it is hot and walking around for 2 days without baby sick on me. AARRRHHH the simple things in life!!

We went on Safari.....

Last week Mike was speaking at Scottish Churches house in Dumblane, so we took the opportunity to have a quick family break and went to the Safari park. We had great fun we just wish we had more time there.

Blair Drummond safari park opened in 1970 in the grounds of Blair Drummond house, which was purchased by Sir John Kay a Glasgow tea merchant in 1916. Having no sons he passed it to his nephew Sir John Muir father of the present owner Jamie Muir. The house remained a family home until 1977 when it was sold to the Camphill Trust, a charity that cares for people with special needs. The existing late – Victorian house replaced a mansion house built in 1715, which was sited in what is now the giraffe enclosure. Most of the remaining trees in the park date from the period of the earlier house.

There is so much to see and do, there where so things we didn't get to do because we didn't have time.

Yes that is Alyssa going down on her own, she has no fear and just had a blast on the slide, just has well it was the only ride that was free.

Markus just chilled in his buggy, he did get to have a swing with mummy on the play ground so he wasn't left out.

The way the park is set up you get to drive threw the animal enclosures, we really look forward to going back soon.
