So Dad and I set out to break the rocks open and see what was inside.
In truth, there were no new dinosaurs found but it was good fun trying!

Remember those Fossils?
Do you remember the fossils we brought back from Eathie Fossil Beach over three years ago? Well they've been gathering dust in a box all this time and finally we've decided to explore them properly.

Duncarron Medieval Village
Today we went to Duncarron Medieval Village near Falkirk. Mum and Dad have known about it for a long time and wanted to go there but it's being built slowly by volunteers and gaining access is only really possible while they're hosting events. Today there was an open day with battle re-enactment and lots of interesting and fun things from medieval times.
My shirt proved very popular on the day!
I helped attack the fort!
Practiced some spear throwing!
Spent some time in the stocks!
And almost lost my head!
Lots of fun - we'll definitely come back here. There are more photos from the day on their Facebook page.

Exploring
It's the last week of the summer holidays and Dad has taken some time off work so that we can have a few days up north before going back to school.
For one of the days we went exploring with Auntie Anne and Uncle Ian. They took us on a great walk up a Craig Mony to an ancient hill fort. The walk was through an old forest with some really massive trees!
Although the fort was barely recognisable, after a lovely picnic lunch supplied by Auntie Anne, Dad and I had to carry out the tradition of having a sword fight!
The walk back down through some more massive trees was fun.
Then it was off through another wood to reach the backs of Loch Ness. We couldn't find the monster but we did find some very friendly ducks!
After that, we went back to Auntie Anne's for some more food. We had a fabulous day and I hope we can do it again.

The Old Course
We went to St Andrews today. We can never get enough of St Andrews so it's always great to go back. We parked by the beach and walked along it to the town. Dad was really jealous of this collection of sandcastles!
They had live music for us this time. They were playing 'Singing in the Rain' but it didn't rain at all!
Don't you just love steps?!
Always speak to the folk in the castle mine.
Ice cream. Never come to St Andrews and don't get ice cream. This time we tried Jannettas. This was a first for us but it's the ice cream everyone raves about. It'll be the last though - it's not nearly as good as Luvians where we usually go.
And then we went onto the Old Course. It's Sunday so there is no playing and lots of people milling about the 18th green and fairway. We don't play golf so did our own thing!
And then Mum and I posed for that photo everyone has to take at St Andrews. Funny that we've coming here for years and this is the first time we've done this.
It was straight to our usual haunt for lunch which was busier than normal and we had to sit upstairs - still excellent food and service though.
