Visiting some of my favourite places

The past few days mum and I have been taking Cristi to see some of my favourite places around here. It has been so lovely revisiting and being able to share these beautiful places with my boy. He has loved going to the beach and like a mad fool keeps trying to go in the water - he doesn't last long! Oh Scotland really is just so beautiful and I am so happy to be back and surrounded by its loveliness :)
The Hermitage - one of my favourite spots!
I'm not sure this photo does justice to the magnificence of this waterfall?!
For years Cristi has asked me how high is the tallest tree I have ever seen and I always told him of the one behind him. Finally he got to see one of the tallest trees in Britain :)
Love this view - can you spot us?
Beautiful spot by the river in Dunkeld

Part of the Cathedral

The fritillaries are out in the garden. Love these delicate flowers

Paddling in the sea - brrrrrrr!

St. Andrews Cathedral

Enjoying a Jannetta's BEST ice cream ever!

Lazy Days!

First fish & chips from Anstruther fish bar enjoyed on the pier :)

We saw a seal in the water, the first Cristi has ever seen. He was super excited!

Baby Moo's! How happy was I! Ah cuteness!

Fife Folk Museum in Ceres

Elie - such a pretty coastline

Windswept on the beach :)

Jumping for joy. Cristi is a big beach fan!


Here is a little clip of Cristi enjoying the cooling temperatures of the sea. He was determined but it didn't last long, although in fairness he lasted a heck of a lot longer than I did!

So we are here....

The last couple of days have been a  bit surreal. There have been a lot of emotions but we are happy to be here and are starting to feel a little settled and relaxed in Buni's house. I think my photo's will do a better job than me at showing our journey and first few days highlights so I hope you enjoy them :)
Time to leave :( Saying goodbye to our friends

My little bag helpers

About to cross the border for the first time

"WICKED!" Seeing the plane we would fly on in the background

Buckled up and ready for take off

Starbucks and a movie. "Mum it's just like the Hogwarts express there's a lady with a cart on here. Do you have £1000000 so I can buy one of everything?"

Looking out at the sea 

Loaded up and ready to find Buni :)

Happy moment

We're here - smiles all round

Playing in the garden

Welcome welcome!

I was so excited to see my beautiful friend - 3 years is far too long!!

Up the tower. Looking over our new village :)

"Oh no we've been bad"

His favourite moment of the trip so far....Meeting the fish man with his fish van. He thought it was so cool! We bought a fishcake from him.

Favourite moment No.2 meeting the neighbour's dogs and taking them for a walk in the park where he met a girl who will be in his class.
