A few pics of the week:
Our stop off at the border viewpoint with Karen and LC (Sadly Tarly was asleep in the car so is not featured!)
First drink of the week!
which led rather nicely to several more drinks, which led to my bed being the floor!
after the first night (and with some coaching from Ady and cheerleading from the kids) I did manage to hoist myself onto the top bunk though 🙂
The raw ingredients for the stew
The process involved 🙂
Ady’s token arty shot!

My boy on the local suspension bridge (if we only had some resident expert who could have told us more about them and made it a more educational experience 🙂 )
Me and Tarly walking the grounds 🙂
A few from Dynamic Earth:
In the graveyard
On another bridge
In the Abbey grounds
Davies and Karen’s LC
The pictures behind the picture – loved the Class of 2005 shots that Andy did – although sadly one of mine was crying and the other was obscured trying to comfort her, but I also love the shots Ady got of all the grown ups trying to assemble all the kids ready for them 🙂
Kids in the room (shame they could not be persuaded to sleep in the tops bunks!)
Davies enjoying his Shrove Tuesday pancakes 🙂
The common room
Davies and his friends
On the way back out of Scotland again
And finally – at last I know why Travelodge get away with their small and lumpy beds and their barely big enough to classify as a sink baths – after a week in bunk beds and ill fitting curtained showers, not to mention unmentionable things in them, this small room with a double a single and a pull out and en suite facilities was a pleasure to be in!
where is the ‘on an iceberg’ shot?? lovely photos – even if my enormous backsidse obscures half of one of them!!

not enormous, just standing next to Ros (you will note there are no photos of me doing such a foolish thing!) 😉

Aside from the pics of the group photo being done there were very few showing that we were infact there with a group. This was because for most of the week the kids were not part of the group and Ady (the one with the cameras) was trailing around behind them! There are a couple of Scarlett sitting alone on the stairs and several of Davies in the common room totally alone 🙂
Ady had the idea (too late to do it) of doing some sort of yearbook activity where everyone there (adults included) had their photos and some stuff about them ‘my fzvourite part of Melrose was….etc’ If we’d taken enough photos of people then I would offer to do them to sell for Tsunami but we didn’t! Maybe next year…
