And then after our wonderful dentist managed to clean-up and splint the tooth in place.
It was mushy food and drinking through a straw for a long while after that. Yet Miss T showed the most incredible bravery throughout.

A couple of months ago, Miss T turned 10. As this blog was started the year she was born back in 2012 to keep track of all her baby milestones, it seems only right to make sure that her 10th birthday gets a mention on the blog too!
She had the biggest growth spurt during lockdown and is now nearly as tall as me! She can fit into all my clothes. This used to be my dress at one point!Wednesday 3rd November 2021
The photos have ended up in a bit of a muddled order and it seems to take age to try to re-jiggle them in the right places, so will leave them muddled...But these were the photos from our third and final full day in Scotland.
We enjoyed the hot tub on a couple of occasions and on this occasion, Miss T joined us too.

I can only describe my night's sleep as PERFECT. It may be partly because we were so tired from the long drive the night before but the beds are also outstandingly amazing and absolutely perfect for my back.

The twin room |
Some extra seats on the landing |
An extra seating area on the landing for bedtime stories |
The living room area with a viewing window to watch the cows |
The open plan kitchen area |
The downstairs bedroom |
I've lost count of the number of times that we've ended up cutting a holiday short because my back pain became unbearable due to the beds not being suitable so once I find somewhere with good beds, it stays on my radar and this place is definitely going to be staying on our radar for our next trip to Scotland as we definitely want to visit again.
Stunning patterns in the rocks |
Amazing landscapes! |
We packed up a picnic lunch and headed Port Patrick. It's a picturesque little harbour town close to where we are staying. As it is mid-week, term-time and out of season, it is really very quiet here. And it's a rainy day too. But it is still incredibly beautiful with it's rocky landscape.
I have a thing about lichen! |
It was about a 25 min drive from Dunragit which is where we are staying. There was an old castle ruins which we took a closer look at. Note to self: I must look up history of Dunskey castle. You can get up to it but not inside it. There didn't look like there was much inside it anyhow. Perhaps it's a little like Sham castle in Bath where it was a built to look like a castle as a facade? But then again, Dunskey castle did have a small interior so I'm curious to know it's purpose.
We've been watching Heroes recently so we watched a couple of episodes of that before another brilliant night's sleep.
Miss T's school had asked if she could do some mini vlogs about her trip so she did a tour of our accommodation here:
