Birthplace

As all of Joe's family are in Edinburgh today was the day we all went to visit his birthplace, a wee shepherd's cottage high in the Lowther hills.
First though Miss B awoke and was full of beans, helped me make the morning cuppa then we got breakfast ready and she helped make the coffee. Made sausage sandwiches for our picnic, then had toast and coffee for breakfast, quick wash for Bella and moi, then in heavy rain into the car Bella Ruaridh, Grandpa and moi! d
Rendezvoused at Karen's house, Bella delighted to see her mummy and daddy, she went with her daddy and Layla came with us. Good drive, parked and set off to walk into the hills. Super walk, we met a guy panning for gold! then we came to an amazing waterfall and the bairns had great fun running under it, some in clothes some almost in the skud and the sun shone! Ruaridh had the most amazing time running up hill and down dale, he has been knocked out since getting home.
Arrived at the cottage still has four walls and a roof, but quite derelict inside, very remote in the hilly moorland. Had a super picnic and lots of photos taken, before we set off for home. Good journey home.
Vegetable risotto and salad for dinner, followed by M&M's mmmmmm!
Going to do the dishes then bed after a cuppa. Goodnight
