J, TK and I took the train from Edinburgh to Perth today. Tom loved it! It took just over an hour and so was the perfect length to keep a toddler entertained. I reckon the highlight was going across the Forth Bridge (funnily enough I remember going across this bridge as a kid on a train and enjoying it too)
And then when we got to my parents we watched the end of the tennis semi final while TOm played with the new toy library toys (he was especially taken with the ride on digger and didn’t want to be parted from it even for a snack)
Tomorrow J and I are heading up to Aberdeen… by ourselves!! We are leaving TK overnight for the first time ever and I have to say it’s tugging on my heart strings more than I expected. I know he will have a fantastic time with my folks and they and he are so comfortable together I’m not worried about that at all; I just think I’ll miss him a lot!! Anyway, we have lots of fun things planned for Aberdeen!
These are fascinating mile-stones – for you as well as Tom!
It was even more fun crossing the Firth of Forth by ferry, gobbling up a spit roast chicken en route! However the train journey looks great fun for Tom.
