Floods!
















It had been raining heavily the week before and the river was higher than we had ever seen it! It was flowing under the restaurant that we ate lunch in.

JUMPING!






Climbing Llangollen Hill






We went to visit Lynne and her and Wallace took us to Llangollen in North Wales. We climbed the hill to the castle ruins before lunch!

West Calder


Martin and Jemica live and work on this estate! We took a wet walk, but it is beautiful!



Queensferry


We went to the town of Queensferry to look at the Forth Bridge (red) and the Second Forth Bridge (silver). They are very impressive!


Stirling Castle



We went to Stirling Castle with Mardy and Jem and learned lots of fascinating Scottish History! Mary, Queen of Scots was born and lived here!!
This is the Wallace Monument from afar.

West Calder



Martin and Jemica are friends of ours from East London, SA. They asked us to stay with them in their home for the weekend! They work on an estate in West Calder and are surrounded by lakes!

Edinburgh



Edinburgh is a strikingly beautiful city with imposing architechture. The castle is built from the rock of the hill - completely different to English castles!


Pretty Flowers!


There is a Victorian Rose Garden at Warwick Castle with some beautiful flowers and scents!
