Lots to blog but you'll have to wait for pics

We've just been doing so much over these holidays!

We borrowed Sharon and John's tent before we went to Canada and set it up for a camp out in the garden when we got back- it was fun sleeping outside, but we started thinking about getting one for ourselves and impulsively bought a trailer tent!!!

We went to Gateshead (near Newcastle, north east England for you Canadians) to pick it up this Saturday. While we were happy to stop at the Angel of the North, it put us back 10 minutes and when we got to 'Mick and Lynda's' place the skies opened up and we had to put it up in a thunderstorm!!! But it is so cute! And we had a great night camping near Hadrian's Wall, where we stopped on the way home for a bit of Roman Re-enactment.

We have also had the lovely Reidie girls visit on my birthday for more tenting fun and waterpark fun and cake eating- and I am looking forward to hooking up with Sharon at Stobo Castle Spa which is my birthday gift!!!!

We have been to the local castle once and Dalscone twice, as well as Mabie farm where we fed the calves last week (but I am finding Mabie filled with rude little shits so am getting a bit fed up with it).

We are growing a huge sunflower and peas and beans (thanks Elaine) which have been filling our bellies along with the various cakes.

We have been to a classic car show as well as the air show, with Mae's pal Beck.

I am Amnesting in the centre this next weekend (how can I not watch the olympics? It's everywhere already?) and painting a mural on Liza's wall in her new house for the childminding room.

Mae's back at school in two weeks from tomorrow! Lots more to fit in!
