Collecting shells

Rowan woke up at 6am and as a result so did I. I managed to get her to stay in bed until 6.15 (!) and then we both got up and went for a shower. It was a beautiful morning, so we sat quietly outside reading until Nick and Murron woke up almost 2 hours later! We ate our breakfast in the sun playing boggle and then the girls went to explore the river whilst Nick and I packed up. We had a quick nostalgic stop in Kircudbright and then drove on to Kippford where we collected shells on the beach. This was not too difficult as the entire beach consists of cockles. We rounded the day off with a drink in the local pub before driving home through the Southern Uplands. We got home late. But it was worth it.
