See ya Nonnie!

Well, mum headed back to rainy Canada on Saturday. We had a great, if tiring, time. Mom helped us move here last year and we kept her chained to the house, so she didn't see any of the area. Plus, last year it was freezing.

So we have been to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Carlisle, and about an hour's drive in every other direction. Castles, abbeys, beaches, farms, monasteries. Every shop in south west Scotland. Every tea room in the area. Lots of wine. Lots of face painting, hair pinning up, playing pirates and princesses.

It was good.
