More Holiday Snaps and a Little Tea for Tuesday

Hello again everyone

I would like to share some more photographs from mine and Wee Man's Edinburgh holiday.

I don't know about you, but when I'm on holiday I like to have the odd treat or two, and Edinburgh was no exception.

There's a fabulous Cafe called Mimi's and on the recommendation of my son and his girlfriend we met them there.

I completely forgot to take any photos at all of our lunch or cakes as I was so in awe of the place.. But I did capture this one on the way out. I had a slice of the lemon meringue cheesecake on the top shelf there. It was so light, it was almost a mousse! 

Oh, and I did get this photo of my coffee to show Elizabeth and the T gang (phew!)

 The whole place is beautifully decorated and has cosy nooks with soft lounge seating and low tables.

I definitely recommend everyone to go there! 

After lunch we went for a walk along the 'shore' and saw lots of swans. I can't say I've ever seen so many in one place before. Quite a few of them were still cygnets, but practically grown.

I also saw this quite near our hotel

And on another day we went to a place called Dynamic Earth

Dynamic Earth is a 5 star visitor experience which invites you to take a journey through time to witness the story of planet Earth. Through a series of interactive exhibits, state of the art technology and even a 4D encounter you will feel the heat of a bubbling volcano, face the chill of polar ice, fly across the globe before crash landing in a tropical rainforest. As if this wasn’t enough, Dynamic Earth is home to Scotland’s only 360 degree full dome film theatre. (from their website) 

It is one of the most interesting places I have ever been, and much to my delight, Wee Man enjoyed it too. 

We will go again. 

Perhaps the most amazing thing there, for both of us, was a real iceberg!! 

Not a giant one obviously, but real all the same.

Well now, I hope you have enjoyed seeing more of our holiday snaps, and you haven't fallen asleep by now, hehe.

Thank you so much for popping in.

Do take care, be well and be happy.

Tea on Tuesday and some

 Holiday Bits n Bobs

Hi everyone, Wee Man here :D 

Me and granny are back from a few days holiday in Edinburgh, so we would like to share a few photos with you.

This is where we stayed. The staff were really nice and friendly.

Granny liked the tea and coffee things in our room. 

One night granny had fish and chips and I had

Pizza.

We really enjoyed going on the trams

and we went past the depot. 

There are 26 trams in Edinburgh and we found out that they can travel at 43mph (70kmh).

We went to a Build A Bear Workshop

where I made Goldie the Golden Retriever and High Springer the Springer Spaniel.

I loved seeing this bus; we didn't get to go on it, but we might next time.

I also enjoyed diving into the ball pit at Gambado's soft play centre.

Well that's all for now; I hope you enjoyed these pictures. 

Granny will share this post with Elizabeth and her tea friends and she said she will do another blog post to show you some more photos of our holiday. I hope that's ok.

Bye for now

Hugs, Wee Man

and granny too :D

My Summer Holiday

My Summer holidays were very exciting. I had six and a half weeks off school. My birthday was in the holiday and now I am 7.

I finished the ICAD challenge. I made 50 ICADs and lots of new friends.

I had lots of fun in my paddling pool

enjoyed walks in the sunshine

 playing at the playground

riding on nice buses 

and eating in different places. 

But the best adventure of my holiday was going to Edinburgh and I slept in a guest house. 

I went on the Festival Wheel 8 times. The Festival Wheel is 50 metres tall but the London Eye is 120 metres. I went on the London Eye when I went to London in October 2013.

I went to the zoo.

I made a new bear in a workshop and his name is Rainbow Bear.

The ticket man on the tram gave Rainbow Bear his own ticket but he didn't have to pay

and the driver let me sit in her cab and I rang the bell 2 times. 

I enjoyed rolling down the hill near the castle

and I enjoyed getting back home again

I am looking forward to going back to school. I start Primary 3 tomorrow. 

Love from Wee Man :-D
