Rather than give you a full run down of all that we did I shall give you a brief photo heavy highlights of the silly stuff we got up to.
 |
| Roman ruins at Vindolanda, with a sushi bento box lunch of course. |
 |
| Playing chicken with the waves. |
 |
| Hanging out with their favourite Scottish-Canadian uncle, at his future home (once extensive renovations are complete) and learning to drive his wee tractor. |
 |
| Skating time with Uncle Andrew. Playground time with him too. (He's the biggest kid of all!) Enjoying our first dosa - so very, very good. And a sushi feast prepared by Em and Andrew. |
 |
| As always, time at Tynemouth Market. Fish & Chips down on the quay, followed by sword fighting with those little wooden chip forks. And a visit with Helen and Archie, always enjoyable. Yes, Emily is in Archie's cage. |
 |
| The bubble ninja. I blew the bubbles. Emily burst them. Helen took the photos. Team work at its finest.
School starts tomorrow. Summer is over, but it has left a lifetime of good memories with us.

Great photos! Looks like a wonderful vacation! You certainly have had a busy summer. Lots of good memories. Can't believe how your girls are growing up since I first read your blog.
ReplyDeletelooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a delightful post. Your girls continue to amaze and amuse me. If they are half as wonderful as you portray them on this blog then they are just about perfect. You are one lucky mum and I suspect they are two very lucky girls to have such a great family. Oh and theat photo of the fish and chips has my mouth watering!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful. It must be so nice to ave children that are still at the happy stage and actually like each other!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see you all on Monday and hear about your adventure-filled summer!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Archie got a good progress report from the vet this morning and can come out of the cage and potter around downstairs! I just need my brother to come and fit a stair gate and I can release him ;o)
Fun times; now roll on the quiet times!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! So glad to hear you had a great summer :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect times...enjoy your freedom once they're in school!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your holiday snaps I think you’re creating wonderful memories for your girls . They’ll remember their family holiday adventures for years to come and try to give their kids the same sort of fabulous family holidays when they’re older.
ReplyDeleteAnd holy moly! You managed to pack a TON of stuff into 12 days!
Your girls are growing up so fast! I bet they are taller than you now too! A lovely summer of memories! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWow, you had two fabulous holidays this summer!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun summer was had by all!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely to be cherished! What great adventures! Your daughters are lovely (beautiful eyes!).
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip, I am glad you had a nice time.
ReplyDeletelovely photos! maybe next years trip north will have an extra stop?!
ReplyDeletefun fun fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful time! I am jealous of a summer holiday where you get to ware hoodies! I love that kind of weather.
ReplyDeleteThat Scottish-Canadian uncle looks a bit dodgy - I'd stay out his way!
ReplyDeleteBig Bro
Great photos, Susan! Looks like you all had a fabulous time!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteNicky took the word out of my mouth. Brilliant it is! Looks like a lovely time
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous trip. I went to Helen's home town last week too. But no time for a visit as we were literally passing through on a very long tour.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you were hardly home for the summer. Sunburned in Aberdeen?! This must be a first! No, I joke. My parents visited Scotland in September in 1997. My Dad spoke in amazement of travelling to the Isle of Skye, having a picnic lunch and it being so warm he had to take his jumper off and just have his t shirt on.
