Another day of slightly altered plans due to water falling from the sky but that's okay because we're on holiday. We met up with Sally Anne a
wonderful school friend of Neil and she showed us around the auction house that she runs with her husband and two boys. What an Aladdin's cave. Furniture, fire places, bric-a-brac, absolutely wonderful. After leaving Sally Anne to let her get back to work, we headed across the Firth of Forth to Deep Sea World. It was extremely busy as it has a roof, but was lots of fun. They had the most amazing display of frogs (I know you don't get frogs in the deep sea), with bright colours I have never seen on frogs like electric blue, orange and yellow. We also saw piranhas, enormous cat fish and Tinkerbell the shark. It was a perfect way to spend a cold and wet afternoon. We then took a sticky beak at North Queensferry which has a very spectacular rail bridge (pictured) across the Firth to South Queensferry (where Neil's parents live). After a brief visit to grandad we rejoined Sally Anne and her clan for dinner. I must share one of our in-car games which Callum loves - hide and seek. Yes that's right, Callum counts whilst Neil hides (I'm driving). Then when Neil is found he counts and Callum hides by putting his hands over his eyes. It's absolutely priceless. Heather has decided it is way too silly and waits until the boys have come to their senses before playing the animal noise game that she invented (more on that later) or I Spy. Can you image what our 6 hour drives will be like in France?
