What have we been up to?????

Apart from being really slack on the blog you mean?

Well the Saturday after we got home was a Wild West disco across at the town hall resulting in half of the town swearing off tequila for life. Eva lasted an admirable 54 seconds on the mechanical bull.

We then were lucky enough to pick up a car from one of the local fellows. We now have wheels-and freedom!

We caught up with Mum and Dad before they headed home again, we had a couple of really nice dinners in Glasgow and visited New Lanark which was pretty interesting historically and the ride they had was a laugh. We had yet another goodbye but it was so wonderful seeing Mum and Dad after so long.

We have been in the flat on top of the hotel house sitting for Kris and Marine for the last 10 nights which is one reason for not having been on the net as we didn't have a connection up there. This was made up for by the fact we had cable tv so Adam could watch a Geelong-Sydney match at 5 in the morning.

While we were there we received the message we had been waiting for, that Nicole had gone into labour. Did it seem to take for ages on your side of the world as well? We bet it did. Congratulations guys!!! We can't wait to meet Lucy and to see you all again.

For our wedding anniversary we decided to go on a road trip up to the Isle of Skye which was amazing. The weather was perfect (it has been raining and cold every other day) and we saw some great scenery driving along single track roads dodging sheep, it seemed similar to how Mum and Dad Y described parts of Ireland. It is great we now have the freedom to get around this country we have been living in for 8 months. On the way home we headed through Glen Coe which was magic as well, we have decided to return there to do some hiking. We took a wrong turn at one point and almost ended up on the east coast which made us realise how small this country is. Since we've had the car we've done something like 1300 miles!

We even got an anniversary gift of two lobsters from Donald which was really nice and really tasty, this place rocks.

That's pretty much it for now, we are in the process of tightening our belts and planning our next trip once we lave this place in September.
