A life ‘Down Under’!
To the Isle of Mull.
So… after London we headed North into Scotland to Oban and there we caught a ferry to Craignure on the Isle of Mull. It was pretty overcast and moody for our arrival on Mull. I wasn’t keen on the single track roads with passing places much either. We drove to Port Nan Gael on Loch Scridain and pitched our tent at a fabulous campsite there…
Soon to be a Big Brother!
So…we are just back from an 11 day break from caring duties thanks to being covered by siblings, especially my sister who stayed with Mum for a week. In some ways it is good to get back to our routine and as we had a busy time away it’s almost like coming back for a rest, well, not quite. Firstly we had two nights in London to see ‘the boy’ who is soon to be a big brother. We took him to Kew Gardens again as Will wanted to see the ‘Of the Oak’ installation there. It was a hot and sunny day and despite keeping him covered up and trying to stay in the shade as much as possible he was not so well the following day, perhaps succumbing to a touch of heat stroke.
“You’ve broken him” said his Dad, Josh.
Here are some scenes of the day.
Prague!
So…we have been to Prague. My sister covered us for a week and we went to Prague for four nights. I have wanted to visit there for a while but it seemed like the rest of the World had the same idea. It was very busy. We walked for miles and miles and I think we pretty much saw everything there is to see. I feel I have done it now and don’t feel the need to go back. Of course I took hundreds of pictures and have whittled them down to those that follow, but there are still quite a lot, sorry…
Time with Tessa.
So…we had some time off with Tessa last week. She was over from Australia visiting family and she popped up to see us for a few days. We spent a lot of time in the Lake District, walking from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater with her Auntie and Uncle, a steep climb up Raven Crag, a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle and Mayborough Henge and an epic walk up Causey Pike on her last day with us.
