September and early October news...

It's been a while since I last wrote, but I have been busy! Anyway, it's now our holiday time and we have been doing a few things close to home. A couple of days ago we went to Edinburgh Zoo with Sandy and Olivia, and today Anna and I managed to get a few hours to ourselves (thanks to my mum!) so we headed off to Paxton House, close to Berwick, for a walk around the grounds as well as some lunch in the cafe inside.

Olivia dresses up again!

The penguins come out for a walk!


By the rhinoceros enclosure. Olivia doesn't look too interested!



Sandy was impressed.

A hungry Highland Cow!



In the summer in Finland, Anna was forever picking wild berries. In October here in Scotland, she's still at it- brambles this time!
