Some moments from our trip

One of the striking differences between Germany and Scotland was that spring had sprung already. Cubling's excitement about this was rather huge.

Nothing beats the garden of older girls who very soon became her new friends - no question she can climb as high, even on tiptoes.

No trip to Germany is complete without a trip to Cologne Zoo...

...and a chocolate ice cream

Cubling loves to hug and so do I - and she loves to hug my bump

A long journey back home thanks to volcanic ash, but the sunset alone made up for it:

And finally, home sweet home (how amazing is that to be sailing underneath the Forth Road Bridge???):
