Picnic

Today started off with lots of sun and warm, we were pleased as we had already planned to go to the beach near Duirnish, then onto Duncraig Nursery to look for some plants. Up quite late though, in fact could still have been in bed if an old colleague of Graham's had not telephoned and woken us up! Had breakfast then I made a soda bread to take with us. Packed all into the car and set off.
Good journey over, where we parked the car was lovely a big field full of wild flowers. When we arrived put Bella into her pram, and even though Rusridh was on his lead due to sheep and cattle being around, he enjoyed the walk to the beach. At the beach we let Ruaridh off his lead and he had great fun roaming. Bella ate all her lunch as did the wee dog, we took photo's, Layla took Ruaridh to the ocean and threw stones in for him, he loves his swims!
Just sat down to have a snack and coffee when the raindrops came, the wind dropped and the wee swines(the midges) arrived! We had to pack up in a hurry, poor wee Bella had just got sat on the rug! back to the car and the snacking continued in true Scots style balancing all on our knees huddled in the car with the rain lashing down.
Gave the nursery a miss, came home played with Bella, then she fell asleep as I sang 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' louder than she cried!
Joe with a little help from Layla made us a delicious Mexican meal thanks to both really enjoyed it.
Planting a Fairy seed and some Date seeds tonight as it is Midsummers Day! Goodnight.
