12th July - Pumpkin Update

They're growing - but the rabbits have been at them...

8th July - Ambers first concert - Kylie

Tonight we headed in to Glasgow to the SECC to see Kylie in concert. It was Ambers first concert so she was pretty excited and even had her hair styled especially for the concert (well, style by Ange that is, not Trevor Sorbie or the like).

After the concert we got some chips from the friendly chip van outside the SECC then stood in the car park watching all the cars queue and queue and queue to get out. We performed a cunning exit going behind all the queues then took a shortcut through Glasgow to get onto the M8. Genius.

6th July - Hip Hop Hamish and Rapping Chuck

Whats that hiding behind the hill?

Now theres 3 of them...

Ahh, thats what it is, Linlithgow Palace.



So, after seeing it, we decided to walk round Linlithgow Loch - 2.3miles round that is.

And another view.

Almost back to the car park and the birds have taken over the park.
