Saturdays are generally a laidback affair with us here in the Daft Family Household. And after all this walking we’ve been doing, that was the plan for today. Nice, lazy morning and then a walk after lunch.
That is kind of what happened but then Daddy Daftie made a surprise return home (I genuinely had no idea he was on his way home til he knocked on the front door just before lunch) so our plans remained in tact, just a lot more fun to share them with the whole fam.
Besties reunited.
After a lengthy month away, bookended by several long flights, we decided that some sea air and sunshine was called for so off we set for South Queensferry.
It’s a lovely little place and Daddy Daftie treated us to a fish and chips lunch with a fantastic view of the Forth Rail Bridge. Which was excellent for a few reasons. I mean, who doesn’t love fish and chips while an over enthusiastic toddler shouts, “Look! A train! Choo-choo!”
“Look! A train! Choo-choo!”
After lunch, which took a bit longer to get to us than anticipated, we took a stroll down High Street in the sun where two things happened. One, Wee Daftie hugged pretty much every bollard down the street and two, she managed to convince Daddy that ice-cream was essential.
He’s only been away for a month but apparently it was that easy! (I secretly think he wanted some for himself)
We had a lovely afternoon and evening hanging out, all three of us together, but it was quite a short and meandering walk so I needed to finish the steps off after bedtime. The difference today was that I was able to walk outside! Don’t get me wrong, I do really enjoy the Walk at Home videos with Leslie Sansone but even the chance, I will always choose to be outside. And it was lovely. Fresh air, cool and clear, earphones on and music blaring. Super.
Happy to have Daddy home, happy to have successfully completed another day, happy to only have one day to go, happy to be doing something great for charity. Happy, one might say, as a Daftie Bear hugging a bollard!
