Scotland/Lake District Family Holiday 2008 Photos!
At 5am at my house. Mark had slept over :)
In Glasgow! It was rainy and chilly so I loved curling up in a cosy restaurant with free wi-fi and yummy soup.
We finally got to Nairn and had already shopped excessively.
A luxurious personalised breakfast experience.

The sun had set. (It was about 10.30pm!!)

Breakfast is very important to me as you can see.
I think that's the Black Isle. What a nice day it was.
Mmm.
I forgot what this castle is called. I wasn't too impressed.
I WAS impressed with the real live fire they had inside!! Mmm so snuggly.
We finally got to this hotel in Helmsdale. That there is the largest hot chocolate I ever had. I devoured it all and was going to throw up afterwards, it was too good and sweet.
I went to a Wildlife park on the Black Isle! Owls!!
Zebras!!
An emu!! I touched about 3 of them and they were so friendly.
Cute goats.
I seriously wanted to jump into this field and hug the wallaby. Too cute.
A shetland pony that came galloping towards me when it saw me!! So friendly.
PIGS!
Reindeer!
This pig's balls were so massive I was literally SCARRED FOR LIFE.
Adorable meerkats!
I found this wild cat asleep at the bottom of her shed/barn thing.
I held that snake!!
Gorgeous Inverness Castle.
Leaving Nairn in the rain.
Welcome to England!

I love my wind farms!! <3
The next hotel was an inn and they put lovely towels and chocolates on our beds!
Heavenly lasagne!! Mmm so good.
I had bunkbeds!! I slept in the bottom one though, I was never good with the top bunk bed.
Me in the car on our way to explore the Lake District.
Sheep in the middle of the road.
Loveliness in the Lake District.
Yes, I'm the idiot who goes off to chase the sheep.

Back in Scotland! A cute dog at Gretna Green.
My mum forced this poor guy to take a photo with me.
My Dad and I at Gretna Green: Famous for runaway marriages since sometime in the 1700s.
This guy was so creepy. He was holding me so close and tightly, I wanted to run AWAY.
Back at the Glasgow restaurant place, talking to lovely Mark.
I drove in Scotland AND in England!
See! Me driving!
Me and our trusty car.
The view from our hotel - Express by Holiday Inn at Glasgow International Airport!
The (pitiful) breakfast at Holiday Inn.
Me on the plane, on our way back to Malta. I was ecstatic about seeing Mark again. What a lovesick idiot.
Yay I'm back! Mark and I at MIA.
If you've looked through all of these, I applaud you!
