Trip to Doonies Farm

This is my bread, don't even think about taking it from me". Coinenach was very keen on feeding the ducks and he did such a good job. By the end of the day, we managed to get through 1 and a half loaves of bread!

Coinneach was quite taken with the pigs - especially this Tamworth pig. I sent this pitcure to the BBS New website in the hope they include it in their weekly "Pictures depicting life around Scoland" article. We'll see.

Everyone feeding the geese and ducks

We never realised that Doonies Farm has more fields across the railway bridge. They have moved the Clydesdale horses over here

I just love this picture. The tongue poking out of the corner of Coinenach's mouth embodies his naughtiness

Happy Halloween

Its Halloween and we have been having fun. We had a little party tonight with Nana Joan, Granda Ian, Nana Banana, Michelle, Mummy and Daddy. Tiernan was dressed as a ghost pirate and Coinneach and Eonan were both skeletons, scary. We bob-ed for apples, ate donuts hanging from a string without using our hands (although Coinneach cheated and used his!), we ate spooky food and jumped around until 9 o'clock (on a school night!) Oh yeah and Tiernan went out 'trick ot treating' for the first time and brought back a HUGE bucket of sweets, yum yum. Here are some pictures we took. They are a bit blured as they are action shots! Oh yeah and mummies make up ran a little so dont laugh! Happy Halloween, Tiernan, Coinneach and Eonan xxxx

Chums...

I love these pictures. Katy and Tiernan have been friends for many many years and now Eonan and Molly are getting to know each other. Would have been good to get Coinneach and Jack in the picture too but getting Coinneach to stand still for 10 seconds is just too hard a feat! Sarah

Happy 8th Birthday Tiernan

Happy Birthday to our biggest boy. 8 years old already...wow. Tonight Nana Joan and Granda Ian were round for present opening and cake. Tiernan got a few Transformers and games, plus loads a' money!! Lucky boy. Nana Banana was in London unfortunately and Auntie Sharon was sick! Tiernan requested a toffee cake, so I baked him one, it was yummy...

The raspberry and You Tube

Note: I've made the video public so you don't have to become a You Tube member It has been quite a while since I posted my last video. I have now rectified that problem by posting a new video of Coinenach and Tiernan on You Tube. I think I have been dupped into using all of Goggle's technology. They will one day rule the world with an iron fist.

Happy Christmas and our tree

Do you like our tree?

We fulfilled our yearly tradition: the purchase of an oversized tree from Tyrebagger forest. They are great value, eco-friendly coming from replenishable stock and it is great fun picking the perfect tree. Tiernan and Coinneach enjoyed a yummy hot dog whilst Sarah devoured her precious venison burger which was completely for the baby's benefit :-) Here are a couple of snapshots of the boys. Coinneach always manages to smile after we have taken the picture.

Happy and spooky Halloween

Another year and another attempt to get that damn apple out of the bowl. This year I did prevail and landed myself a beauty of a Braeburn. It was darn tasty!!

Coinneach really enjoyed Halloween this year becsuse last year he was completely oblivious to what was going on. He also absolutely hated that pumkin outfit we forced him to wear. Alas he may be too big next year to wear it again. A shame because Sarah enjoy putting tights on him!

Tiernan as always went straight for the items covered in sugar and promptly discarded the apple. A good 20 lashes should cure that problem.

Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen! (imagine a scary voice)

7 years old

Arghhhhh, pieces of 8 and all that malarkey. Tiernan has just celebrated his 7th birthday. My goodness, he is growing up so quickly. Given the recent hubbub about Pirates of the Caribbean, Tiernan decide he would love to have a pirate themed birthday party. So we did. Everyone came dressed as firece some pirates or pretty Elizabeth Swans (without the anorexia). Tiernan originally wanted a cake shaped like a pirate ship, but we concluded it would be pretty impossible and most likely really expense to get a cake shaped like a boat. So we opted for a photo cake from Asda. They're great. Just take an A4 sized photograph to Asda and for the motley sum of £20 you get a cake suitable for a bunch of blood thirsty pirates. All in all everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was a day to remember. Thanks, Sarah and Graeme
