We got back from our whistle stop tour of Scotland early Monday evening… and hit the ground running. Finn was straight back into his fun packed activities Tuesday morning full of beans as usual. On the other hand both me and Paul were starting to feel the after effects of our busy holiday. I’ve nearly [...]

We managed to make it up to Edinburgh in one go on Thursday after all as Finn was loving being in the big hire car! The journey up took us about 9 1/2 hours… including quite a few long breaks & wasn’t too bad at all. We’re loving being back in Scotland again & even [...]

The horns though have been a real [...]

It seems the word eventually leaked out in snail land that there were some tasty treats newly arrived nearby…. Their initial scouting of the area surmised they needed more troops to overwhelm the stock completely.
So after lulling me into a false sense of security that my defences were strong enough to withstand attacks they returned [...]

It started with Finn’s toddler playgroup a month ago… a grow the tallest sunflower competition. The sunflower had to be re potted 2 weeks ago as it’s roots had shot out the bottom of the small pot I’d initially planted it in… and really quickly too.
