Where did you go on vacation?

For the last 1.5 months every Swiss I know has been asking that question (or where are you going on vacation?). You're nothing if you don't take a holiday here. Our neighbours went on cruises to the carribean, the south of France and Majorca.... I took the boys to bonny Scotland and we had just as much fun, and almost as much sunshine! Well, it only rained on the last day. We spent a lovely week at my parents:

Uncle Robert holds Allie in his favourite postition, while a lone hand tickles.


Robert the boy magnet.


I couldn't find a good pic. of my Dad....


Uncle Jamie, Uncle Robert, me and the wee boys.


My mum has an MG which Allie thinks is super cool since he gets to ride in the front with the top down.


The Kelvingrove Art Gallery openned up in July after 3 years of renovations. We met an old friend Sally (Hi Sally!!) there for lunch and artistic inspiration. I'm not sure what was rennovated, but the stuffed animals had been thouroughly dusted. It is famous for the Dali painting: Christ of Saint John of the Cross.


We took a wee trip to Troon Beach. My Dad took the boys down to the water, while I lay around ;)


Another event that happilly coincided with our visit was Susan's Hen night. Here's the lucky girl, well on the way to a happy evening!


We go back to the UK in a couple of weeks for Jamie and Susan's wedding. I haven't started making my dress yet.... well I've cut it out and hummed and hawed about whether it'll look OK. Allie's going to be a page boy (he presents the lucky horse shoe to the couple) and I think he should present a lucky cow bell!
