Great Aunty Margaret

Neive always asks to go on a choo choo train whenever she sees one. It's quite odd that she thinks it so special but I suppose since she can't ever remember being in one before she may think they are exciting. We decided we would take the train to Glasgow and have lunch with Daddies auntie Margaret.

Everything about the train made Neives eyes pop out of her head. The buttons for the doors that light up, all the other people around us, the big windows, when trains would woosh past us the opposite way, the train conductor shouting tickets please! When we got off the train the blind dogs association were collecting money in the station and Neive got to pet two dogs - this made her day even better. We went to hamleys and the disney store and Neive got "the princess and the frog" musical instrument set.

Beth was sound asleep until we met up with Auntie Margaret for lunch. We went to la tasca and tried out some tapas on Neive. She loves olives and chorizo but not too keen on tortilla. Beth got loads of cuddles and sat in a high chair at the table (she's getting so big). Neive didn't want to go back home without auntie Margaret and kept asking her to come back with us - she promised to come and see us next week. We eventually coaxed her back on the train. We had a great day and the girls were so well behaved - the kinda kids that a stressed mum looks at and thinks why can't mine be more like them. Well done girls you made mummy and daddys day!
