Back from my holidays

I've just found some spare time to quickly blog about my hols -woo hoo. Had a great time but I am exhausted from all the driving and now I feel like I have another chest infection :(

Our holiday started off with us staying at Aunty LoLo's house and meeing her new dog daisy - lovely puppy and I was surprised that Minnow, older dog, had matured and calmed down with the new puppy in the house. We had a nice beer and went off to bed, well we tried to get to bed but Emily hopped in and out of my bed and Phoebes for about an hour before passing out in my bed and thereby pushing me out onto the floot - but hey that was ok I got some sleep. Next morning we drove to Kemnay to stay with Amanda for 3 nights. Amanda's little girl Lana was so cute and friendly she even sat on my knee as soon as I sat down! So after a quick freshen up we popped over to see Alison in Banchory at her in-laws house for a few hours. Later on we drove back to Amanda's house, put the kids to bed and ordered a curry. And a very yummy curry too.

Sunday saw us relax in the park with the kids in the morning and then in the afternoon we drove into Aberdeen to meet up with Wendy and her new baby Charlotte. Charlotte looks so much like her father Craig!

Monday we went shopping in Aberdeen and quickly met up with Wendy and Charlotte again for a quick coffee. And in the afternoon we went to the beach and played on the sand for a little while before heading back to town to meet Adrianna and Sarah for some sushi.

Tuesday I drove to Huntly to meet my grandmother, cousing and my sister. So we had a cup of tea and some biscuits and we also got to meet 2 of Yvonnes latest puppies who I have to say were very well behaved with Emily in the room.

Tuesday afternoon we headed back to Alford and met up with Carol and her latest baby Joseph, we had a nice lunch at the local pub and chatted for hours. Tuesday night we stayed at Adrianna's.

On Wednesday we drove out to Banchory and saw Karen and Pippa, and finally we headed back to Cove, ordered pizza and helped to celebrate Sarah's birthday.

on Thursday we drove down to my parents house and visited my Grandmother in her new nursing home.

And finally on friday we drove, in the heat, back home. Total mileage 1242 miles over 7 days!

Thanks to everyone who let us stay, fed us, and let us use their homes.

Now I've got to get my head back to the study books as my exam is in 17 days :)
