How quickly a month can go by!! We are sitting in Heathrow waiting for our flight to Singapore, thinking about what an amazing time we have had and how lucky we have been to have spent quality time with such beautiful people... The last three days have been a whirlwind of family gatherings, more sightseeing and of course, some shopping! We spent a lovely Tuesday with my Gran and Papa, who took us to the Robert Burns museum and cottage, as well as a scenic trip a...

'Tis our last day in Amsterdam- we're sitting this morning, just the two of us feeling a bit sad from seeing Alice go back to Ireland last night, a bit sad that our magical trip is nearly at an end- but excited and happy to be heading back to Scotland tonight to soak up more family time before we get REALLY sad about heading back to reality!

It was freezing, grey and rained non-stop, which, much to our delight, turned into snow on the way home and continued i...

We've had a lovely couple of days in Vienna, stroking through the city and feeling the charm of yet another beautiful place... Today was probably the best day here, we went for a fresh, Sunday morning walk where I had read that there were two air defence towers remaining from WWII, apparently you could climb up them and get a great view of the city...
