I have not had a chance to write / blog for a wee while now, since the 19th July to be exact.
I must apologise to all my bloggie friends and visitors for the lack of posts… Things have been rather busy at home.
I do have loads to post about tho’… Lots of lovely recipes, updates on the veggies and the two new additions to our family to share with you 🙂
The kids and I took a trip along to the Beveridge Park this morning, its about a 15 minute car journey from our house. We just went along for a walk, due to us all having cabin fever, after being cooped up in the house, with all the rain that poured down over the weekend.
This lovely swan was the first to greet us, as we walked up to the loch, there was a slight breeze blowing through our fingers, both my son and I noticed this, my daughter always walks around with her arms folded, she dropped her arms by her sides to feel it too 🙂 …
Tucked in behind was her baby..
This is the Island in the middle of the loch, they do boat hire here and you can row little boats around the island. Although there was no-one rowing today
As we were walking around, my son noticed that some poor kiddies dolly was floating in the water!
The contrasting colours in the trees here are absolutely beautiful…
This wee shabby duck looked a bit worse for wear siting at the edge of the loch…
About half way round the loch we made a wee detour over to the formal gardens, which were lined with Lavender and Roses… absolutely beautiful… and there was a water feature in the centre…
The statue on top of the fountain was an animal of some sorts..looked like a wee gopher
The roses were stunning…
There was a wet area with a bridge and we stopped to take a picture of this aquatic plant, we have no idea what it is, so will need to do a big of reasearch… If you know what it is please email us 🙂
The path led us back round to the loch and this pretty little greylag goose
Some of its friends chose to wander towards the rose gardens…
Which were full of beautiful blooms and scents…
We all enjoyed our walk… it blew away a few cobwebs and left us all feeling chilled and relaxed 🙂
Today I drove up to Perth to meet with Sue and Phil and pick up “The Cheeps”.
Last night I just couldnt sleep, it was like christmas eve lol, I was soooo excited.
I dropped the kids off at school, filled the car up with petrol (£1.18 a litre here now – it’s scandalous!) and then set off for Perth.. Its about 35 miles away from where I live and should only take about 30-40 mins at the most to get there, I left an hour and 15 mins early, just incase 🙂
We still have to pick out names for them, so if you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them.
This above picture is the 4 of them in their wee chick transit box 🙂
We have 2 Partridge Pekins, 1 Black Pekin and 1 White Silkie Cross
Once they settled in … they tucked into some chick crumb and had a wee drink of water
Then retired to the back of their new home…..
……was it something i said lol 🙂

My poor blog is being neglected big time…. and a combination of things are causing my absence.
Luckily I can access my blog from work, so tend to check in at lunchtimes.
Hopefully when everything dies down I’ll get a chance to post more :o)
