Sunday morning and Daddy, Maisie, Ella and Ava were all up early getting ready to go to the Highland Games but there were a lot of people not so willing and still in bed.

The smell of bacon rolls soon arose those snoozing and it was off to see if the Highland Games were still on as it had started raining during the nights and it didn't look like stopping any time soon.

Unfortunately the games were cancelled so it was a trip to the Sea Life Centre at St Andrews instead. Maisie had been here previously with Charlie and Gracie and warned Ella and Ava about the shark that had eaten them up - of course they took no heed of their wee cousins tale and managed to get themselves eaten by a shark too;

The day brightened up and as Ella and Ava had their wellies on they decided to join in the show down at the harbour in St Monans;

Luckily, on Monday the weather had resorted to the normal beautiful weather the East Neuk expects and so it was off to the beach for a picnic and a day exploring rock pools. Ella, Ava, Uncle Alex and Daddy found lots of interesting things including Hermit Crabs and Starfish.

it was a beautiful day!

Maisie enjoyed being at the beach especially when it came to lunchtime and the large picnic that Daddy had prepared was presented to her;

Maisie thought that she'd stay with her sister at the beach as she was getting well looked after.

"mmm...what else is there to eat?"

Maisie wasn't sure that she like eating Sandwiches with sand in

You'll be pleased to know that Maisie did take a break from eating and spent some time with her Aunty Cat

...wait a minute is Maisie still eating? 

This is a lovely picture reminding Daddy how similar Maisie looks to Aunty Cat when she was wee. 

The beach was great until thunder was heard as so it was decided to get shelter from the storm that was brewing at the local ice cream shop (where Meghan works). 

Maisie and Daddy were not happy they'd
been forced off the beach by the weather

On Tuesday Aunty Cat, Uncle Alex, Ella and Ava departed back to England leaving the house very quiet. Daddy thought that Maisie would be a nightmare after all the cuddles and attention she'd be receiving from everyone over the weekend. 

It was quite the opposite, Maisie seemed to enjoy the peace and quiet and of course having her Daddy all to herself again.
