Trip to Easdale

We went with our friends Paul and Lorna to this tiny Island off the West Coast of Scotland called Easdale on the weekend. Lorna's parents have a cottage there and we decided to get out of the city for the weekend.
It was great, we didn't do much other than eat, drink and play games but it was good fun. The Island is really small and you have to get there by a small boat. It reminded me a lot of Ngawi with it's ruggedness. The island is made of slate and slate used to be quarried there so there are huge quarries that have been filled in with water and they now hold the world stone skimming championships there each year on these huge still pools. We had a lovely time and can't wait to go back.
Thanks Paul and Lorna!

Keryn's Birthday

It's my birthday today horray! I'm 27, feeling very old but can't do much about it!

Simon and I went to St Andrew's on Saturday for the afternoon, it was pretty cold but at least it was dry which is more than can be said for Glasgow. Winter is definitely upon us and it has been quite chilly. Thankfully Mum sent me Ugg boots for my birthday so my feet are now toasty warm - Thanks Mum xxx

Thanks for all those who sent birthday wishes, it is much appreciated :-)

Here are some photos from St Andrew's, was lovely to be by the sea for by birthday as I do miss it alot and birthdays in December aren't much fun in the UK - it's way too cold!
