A question of lawyers

Scottie: Mum, what do lawyers do?

Me: They annoy people!

Scottie: Ah ... (thinks) ... so my sister's a lawyer!

Lindisfarne Gertrude Jekyll Garden.

One of the lovely things about a holiday weekend is having time to
stop and admire the flowers - even if your kids have run off back to
the car because they're so scared of the encroaching tides.

Lindisfarne Castle

It's a special place. We were glad we'd gone in, but Scottie ran round
at a rate of knots, then rushed back to the car as he was so worried
about the tide coming in. Mum & Dad stayed to meander round the
Gertrude Jeykyll garden and admire the zingy marigolds.

How to terrify a 7-year old!

Took Lottie and Scottie over to Lindisfarne or Holy Island this
weekend. Scottie was very worried about getting trapped by the tide
washing over the causeway. No amount of telling him about the Tide
Tables would convince him that we would be sure not to get stranded
there.
