Day Out

Yesterday we got up early after a full nights sleep (!!) and headed to Brodie Country Fayre which is near where James grew up in Forres. I love going there, especially at Christmas time, so having seen the advert on TV, we decided to make a day out of it! This pic was taken in the car park when James was showing Kory how to drive!!

I got some lovely Christmas decorations and we picked up some nice sauces and mustards, as they have all home made things, yum! We then headed to a pub called "The Mosset" which is where James used to hang out as a drunken teenager. We had lunch there which was really nice and he didn't see a single person he knew! Think he was disappointed!


The pub is on a river, so we went to show Kory the ducks once we had eaten lunch. He was looking at them rather oddly, the only animals he's seen before are cats, dogs and birds. Mind you I guess ducks are jumped up birds! Anyway, he liked them!!

As it was still early, we decided to head to a forest that James used to go shooting in, to go for a walk. It was called Culbin Forest and again is near Forres. Once again I'm glad we have an offroad kind of buggy!! Kory is fascinated by trees, so was in heaven here! We walked for about 45 mins then headed back to the car and came home.

And lastly, will you get a look at our own little Buddha?! How fat does Kory look in this photo! We had borrowed the seat from Holly, thinking it might be good (even though Holly never uses it as she doesn't like it and Hannah says it was a waste of money!)Well it has a bar between the legs, obviously to stop baby sliding down, but Kory almost had a home castration!! So we won't be using that again!

Today we've done very little, I'm ill (again) and can barely talk, my voice sounds like Macy Gray on helium. We did go to Argos, where I tried to have an argument with the bloke at the counter about shelves, but I sounded so pathetic that I failed miserably! James is now not feeling great either, and I assume Kory isn't well as he has whinged constantly all day. Even as soon as fed or awake, just whinging. Drives me mad!

We have my mum and Tom coming tomorrow to stay for a couple of days, so there probably won't be any updates till later in the week.
