When we were round at
Sarah’s and Duncan told Rose that she would be coming to stay with us at the
caravan for a night on Sarah’s birthday, wild excitement ensued. When Marion
had calmed down, all the arrangements were put in place for Sarah and Duncan to
go to the lovely Fairmont St Andrews Bay hotel for a day of spa treatments and
a night in luxury accommodation while we had our first experience of looking
after a two year old for almost thirty years.
Sarah looked great on her
birthday. She’s expecting our next grandchild in just two months but she’s
still busy both taking yoga classes and instructing them. She deserves the
break.
We took Rose away from the
hotel at lunchtime and headed back to Craigtoun Meadows for the fun packed
afternoon Marion had planned. It started with a trip to the playground where
Rose promptly fell asleep in her buggy and remained flat out for the next two
hours.
When she awoke she was
freshly invigorated and we enjoyed all the delights that Craigtoun has to offer.
Rose played on all the
playground slides and swings.
Then we walked the woodland
trail hunting for rabbits but only managed to find lots of pinecones.
From the woodland trail we
went to the games room where Rose had a look at the racing game and was then
fascinated by half a dozen little girls playing on the dance machine. Rose’s
version of the dance was both energetic and original.
A day out with grandparents
has to include a treat, so we headed to the famous Janetta’s Ice cream Parlour
in St Andrews for some ice cream. Rose managed very well and didn’t make a big
mess.
By now we were all exhausted
and it was time to head back to the caravan for tea and bedtime.
As it doesn't go dark here at the moment until after 10.pm we had to improvise some blackout's for Rose's window.
We all had a great day. I
hope that Sarah and Duncan didn’t spend all of their break worrying but I
wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
