The Magic Pony

We packed a picnic and took a stroll along the River Almond at Cramond this morning. It had it all: a swing park; swans; puddles; ponies and aeroplanes!

It is such a beautiful part of Edinburgh but the only downside is the never-ending stream of aeroplanes overhead, given that it's just a short distance from the airport. It wasn't a bad thing however, as Little D was fascinated by them as they whizzed over us, almost touchable.

The ponies were a big hit too and were very friendly indeed. After reading one a little story, Miss A decided to put a spell on it and said Abracadabra - I'm turning you into a....pony! And do you know what? It worked.

I might also add that Miss A got herself ready again today - vest, back-to-front summer dress, clashing tights and black school shoes (courtesy of Katie). God loves a trier.
