We have done so much stuff that I am not sure that I will remember it all….. We have mainly been based in Findhorn but we move around a lot.

There was a two day long party after we had arrived in Scotland for my birthday, at heath house (my Nana and Granddads house in Findhorn); lots of my relatives came and I had a great time. For my birthday present I got an ATV and golfing expedition from Nana and Granddad. I was a present for both Jay and I and we had it a week after my birthday. It was really great fun. Oh, and all the guests were asked to were funny hats!!

We have been keeping in touch with dad via text messages since he doesn’t have access to e-mail much. He texts every few days with his whereabouts and things.

We have been driving around Scotland and going to various places for different things. We have been to Aberfeldy, Perth, Edinburgh, Torphins and Perth. In Edinburgh, Jay has sat three exams since we got back, Mum and I visited the Scottish parliament buildings and I had my sleep studies done. The Scottish Parliament buildings had weird architecture and there were bits sticking out the sides of the five squiggle buildings. There was also a quiz going on between different Scottish primary schools about the EU!!

In Aberfeldy we stayed with some friends and I went Geocaching with Enya. Geocaching is an activity which involves finding little plastic boxes with a GPS and coordinates. Enya and I found about 11 around Aberfeldy. I have been doing a lot of geocaching in Scotland because it is fun and I got a new GPS for my birthday from my Aunties and Uncles.

In Torphins I went swimming with my cousin Tara and some of my other friends; we also went geocaching there.

This is Tara Dow, Ben Cowie, Tara's friend and I on a trampoline in Torphins having fun.

For Jay’s birthday we went to the old bar overnight. The old bar is a “bar” of sand near Findhorn and we went camping overnight on it with friends and Aunties and Uncles. It was great.

This is all I have from Jays birthday!!

A few days ago we went to a caravanning show near Torphins with Tara and there was a bucking bronco challenge and a trampoline bungee jump set up as well as a place where you could try out a “Segway” and all the caravan rental companies. A Segway is a little scooter-like vehicle with to wheels which you stand up on.
