Little man's holiday report

I forgot to mention our holiday for the benefit of non-facebookers. The boy and mummy have been to Oban in Scotland to stay with a friend for five nights, followed by a night's camping at Moffat on the way back down. So here's some of little man's holiday experiences, once more in the style of the facebook status update. Little man:

• stirred Loch Lomond with a stick.
• held a starfish and stroked a hermit crab's shell at the Sea Life Centre.
• sounded quite tuneful on mummy's friend's piano and quite liked playing the dulcimer and the tin whistles too.
• joined in playing folk music at the pub on the tambourine.
• got drenched splashing in muddy puddles outside the pub.
• paddled in the sea and collected pretty shells.
• got very excited on the boat trip to the island of Kerrera.
• but was frightened by the langoustines at the restaurant on Kerrera, even after they had been cooked.
• liked scaring mummy by insisting on walking up and down the floating jetties past all the posh boats.
• became very attached to the 'truck' at the park.
• climbed a mountain the easy way, by cable car, and was underwhelmed by the views but impressed with stepping stones over a stream.
• wouldn't move off the top step of the baby pool at the leisure centre.
• kept noticing poisonous-looking toadstools.
• thought thunder sounded like wind in the trees.
• stayed awake til after half past ten on the night of camping.
• kept telling mummy to go into cafes for cups of tea, but didn't really want to stay put while she drank them.
• likes the word 'boots', especially when referring to wellie boots and big puddles after torrential rain.
• enjoyed the adventure play area at Westmoreland Services but was fed up of being in the car by the time he got home.
