Loving the time I have with our Little Fella and watching him go through all the kitchen cupboards on a daily basis. Swanky new shoes a birthday treat from his auntie J. Having a delicious late lunch with the family at The Bushmills Inn. Rainbows on a wet September evening. Vibrant autumn berries. The best bread and butter pudding I've had in ages. Playtime with his big sister on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Beautiful white lilies. Watching the harvest. Long walks when everyone else is at school or working. Cinema date night with Mr P. Admiring my three lovlies in black and white. New winter boots for everyday. Birthday preparations for our Little Fella's first birthday. Having fun at bathtime - love this baby. A wonderful family day trip to Downhill Demesne and Mussenden Temple. Birthday celebrations Teddy Bear's Picnic Style and the cake made by my own fair hand. School uniforms nice and new.

Silent Sunday

Summer Holidays - Part 1 Tantallon Castle

This post is a week late but better late than never! I have finally found the time to sit down and go through our holiday photos there are quite literally loads but I have scaled down as much as I can.

The blog this week is dedicated to capturing our holiday memories, our first holiday as a family of five and our Little Fella was great and enjoyed being out and about every day getting spoiled by his big sister and big brother.

One of the first places we visited on our holiday was the very beautiful Tantallon Castle just a short drive from Dunbar.

It was such a lovely drive despite the rain and I will always remember gazing out of the car window at the beautiful yellow fields full of corn thinking to myself that this really is the life.

Thankfully the rain stopped not long after we arrived at the castle grounds.

Tantallon Castle is truly in the most beautiful setting on the edge of the coast opposite what is known as The Bass Rock and the sight of this as you drive towards it is breathtaking.

The castle was built in the 14th century by William Douglas, the 1st earl of Douglas, whose family was one of the most powerful in Scotland. 

We spent ages here enjoying the views, exploring the ruins and walking around.  Our lot had a great time which is always an added bonus especially after spending way too much time travelling the previous day.

The staff here were so friendly and helpful to us and I just loved the accents - so soft and gentle.

Here are some of our pictures from Tantallon Castle and The Bass Rock.

And if you are ever in this area I would recommend a visit because it's well worth it.
