Don't leave the soup on, baby...

Well, we are home from a self-catering week on the island of Mull, where we stayed in this big house. It sleeps ten but we got a last-minute cancellation at a reasonable price.

It might have cost considerably more: we returned from the beach to find the soup burnt dry on the gas, but - phew, phew, Barney McGrew - it was only the soup and not the tasteful barn conversion that burnt to a cinder. Burning down your holiday home is generally not recommended as the best start to a holiday.

We liked the house and the beach, and we even managed to take our wellies off. See photographic evidence below.

Looks like a beautiful place! We're on vacation ourselves, toward the end of a 3-week road trip across the US, currently in Santa Fe, New Mexico (jacksontripblog.blogspot.com).

Glad you enjoyed your holiday and didn't burn the house down! And so happy to hear how you're enjoying your two beautiful children!! I know I've said this before to you, but every age is wonderful - it just gets better and better.

Hugh is a smiley wee chap. Being a big brother seems to suit him.
Best wishes

Is this Calgary Bay? I have some lovely photos of my children playing there with the whole beach to ourselves.

Well spotted, anonymous - yes, it was the lovely Calgary Bay.
