Canal Festival today. A properly local day out. In between watching banana rafts racing shark boats and a rowing Fox we bumped into pals and had those power catch ups only mums can have. There were bouncy castles, jazz, ice creams, dumplings and home made cakes. This year we even got to visit someone’s home on a canal boat and snagged a sausage off their barbie. #tinyhouse #local #edinburgh #foodvans #canalfestival #mumlife #summerinedinburgh
One of those sunny Edinburgh days. I was outside all day: running errands in the morning, then gardening and hanging out in our willow bower with my four year old. It would have been idyllic except Finn cried for 20 mins because I told him it was too hot to wear his Spider-Man suit. ‘But nobody will notice me.’ He sobbed. We settled on a cape which got him a few comments during school pick up and a trip into the city to get Rafa’s glasses, and visit the floral clock at the Princes street gardens. I tried to tell him he is enough just as he is... but he disagreed. #mumlife #sunshine #princesstreetgardens #edinburgh #costumes #edinburghcastle
Let’s talk about TRash... these shiny golden letters are lots of fun, but we found them blowing down the street this morning. Yesterday we took part in a local litter pick at the park near our house, it was predominantly broken glass and cigarette butts- not exactly what you want underfoot in the playground, and imagine it won’t be long before new trash gets deposited. But at least the litter pick was a good way to show the kids that it is important to be mindful of your rubbish. #pickitup #mumlife #kidlife #trash
Cloudless afternoon- when clouds were predicted. I’m pleased to say we made the most of it with another walk on the Water of Leith and a visit to a new playground. My city knowledge is improving as I get out with my running group, and now the kids don’t need the pram the world is opening up to us- just in time for the warmer weather! This statue has just been re-instated- and the nude man was something of a talking point amongst the dog walkers. #scotland #modernart #springtime #mumlife
We went urban exploring yesterday. The kids and I walked about 6km from our door on a round trip via the Water of Leith, Dean Village and lunch at the Stockbridge Farmers Market- a great Sunday outing. My Sunday’s have been in a bit of a rut lately so it was good to do something different. Especially when there is so much special stuff on our doorstep. #mumlife #waterofleith #spring #explorelocal #edinburgh #kidlife #scotland
These two have not shut up all day. Cannot imagine what I would do if they didn’t have each other to talk to- because I can’t keep up with them and I suck at poo humor. They walked down the street arm in arm earlier playing a looong game of ‘shut up’ ‘no you shut up’ which only finished when the youngest shouted ‘f$@&’s sake’ to all of Haymarket. They are 4 and 5 right now- it’s not always easy, if you were here right now you would need earplugs - but boy oh boy I love these brothers two. (Especially when they are playing together and leaving me alone to drink my coffee) #mumlife #brothers #kidlife #weekend
