Despite the dire impression I give, Scotland has beautiful weather. Two days a year.

We left bright and early this morning for Portobello beach to enjoy the glorious weather.

  3. Seriously! it must have taken all your will to walk away from that fish without finishing it!........I would have had to stay and made my own way home....in fact i might have to fly up to Scotland tomorrow to finish it for you!...just looking at the pictures is causing an obsessive compulsive itch that seriously needs to be scratched.

    Looks like you all had a beautiful, fun day anyway.

  4. Looks fab - can't believe that's Scotland?! Looks more like Cornwall - we went to the beach today too (I've just posted about it) and my pics are remarkably similar to yours!

    Hope you're not as red as I am tonight.... funny how I'm very thorough about my little boy being protected from the sun but tend to forget myself! Lucy xox

  8. Enjoy the weather - looks great. Do wish we had a beach within easy reach from us, but we have plenty swimming pools etc so shouldn't complain, especially when it is hot!

  9. Gorgeousness. How can you bear the beauty of your children? I had to look away a few times.

    And that fish is incredible!

  10. Aw, fab! I used to live pretty much right on Portobello Beach, it's lovely on a sunny day. I do hope the wind was coming from the right direction, though?!
