A few days away

We've had a super busy, gloriously hot, few days away.


First we headed to Edinburgh
(lots of pictures, in no real order)




The gates to The Botanical Gardens, very beautiful but difficult to photograph!



My smallish boy has just turned thirteen, so he was having a 'teenagers rest'





Beautiful lavender, covered in bees and smelling divine.





Look at all the shells 

 

And a pine cone ceiling!


Next we visited Berwick upon Tweed



The weather couldn't have been nicer.


We drove on, stopping at Seahouses for a spot of rock pooling


The smallish boy spotted this unknown sea creature and I was instructed to take a snap so we could identify it later. (still not done that)


 Another day and another beautiful day out.


Alnwick Gardens


Last time we visited I was pregnant with the smallish boy!!





Then onto Alnwick Castle



You imagine the thick castle walls will make it lovely and cool inside . . 
You would be wrong!



We walked back through the town, then the gardens.


And another set of beautiful gates (also difficult to photograph)



  Then to the beach.


My family all know, that for me a holiday near the sea isn't complete until you've dipped your toes in the sea.
 

Look at my beachcomber boy.... 


Although we're back home now, fingers crossed for more days out over the summer.

    1. We could have spent days in Edinburgh so much to do. Maybe another visit is needed. Sarah
