I can't remember a better summer in Edinburgh. We have had consistent sunny days for the last 3 weeks. I have a tan for the first time in years. I've had to put sunscreen on Felicity and make her wear a sunhat. Even the tomato plant I planted outside (realizing that I had probably given it a death sentence in doing so) is thriving. It's amazing.
G and I took the girls to Portobello beach yesterday. I should have taken a picture of all the bodies in the sand - it looked like something out of a travel agents' advert for the south of France or Spain. The girls had a great time. S wanted to stay on the beach and play in the sand. F kept asking to go back out into the sea. Amazing at 2 years old their personalities and preferences are already showing themselves and giving us so much joy!
I thought they would be running off the moment we got on the beach - but they were fascinated exploring the sand and sat themselves down by the walkway to play.
They brought along cuddly toys which now definately need a run through the washing machine.
I think this photo would make a lovely painting. Maybe I'll do it one day when my world slows down.
So happy together - these little girls are like sisters.
Cute explosion!
We took turns burying our feet in the hot sand. The top of the sand was hot and dry and crumbly. When you dug down an inch or so, it became cooler and damp and stickier. We buried mommy's feet and F's feet and S's feet and Toti's mummy's feet and kitty cat's feet....
and I see from previewing these photos on my laptop that I need to practice keeping my horizon lines straight on the camera!
