I Am The Mountains, You Are The Sea

Back from Scotland!

The holiday was AMAZING! We got to Ayr on Saturday 3rd and we were all so excited, running around like headless chickens in and out of rooms whilst inspecting them. The caravan itself was okay, but the park was terrible! So rundown and chavvy. We were right opposite a council estate aswell!! They may aswell have painted 'LIVE IN FEAR' on the barbed wire over the park entrance!

On Sunday we didn't do much...
Monday we went to Glasgee!! And spent pree' much the whole day in Primark! I only bought three things for myself though :L. We went in forbidden planet too... wall to wall with Manga Graphic Novels.. I found Niall's Xmas Present though. xD

Tuesday I took Emily to the beach to give Lynn and Alan some time together.

Wednesday we went to Kelburn Castle.. It was AMAZING. It was grafittied, but professionally and it looked brilliant.

They had an amazing forest that was full of little houses; Gingerbread Man, Mr & Mrs Teenie Weenie, the Goblins fort... etc. Crocodile Swamp! And it was so enchanting we spent a good three hours running around. I got stuck at the top of a 5 ft high platform with only rope ladder to aid decent... I have a picture somewhere that I will post soon of me stuck. DON'T LAUGH but when I (eventually) got down it was like I'd just climbed down everest. I was shaking like hell. Lynn was understanding though :L
After the forest thing we went to the Playbarn for Emily and it was amazing! It was deserted of children (cuz it was a school day) so I had a sneaky run around (it was for under 12's). Inside the castle thing it was like a proper palace. And .. they had a death drop slide! Emily was scared about going down it so I went up to push her - allegedly - but then I went down it myself... and IT WAS FUN! I used to be terrified of death drops when I was younger but now I got such a thrill I went on twice more (and promptly burnt my bum :L).

On Thursday we went to Pirate Pete's playbarn but it wasn't a catch on Kelburn Playbarn. Emily soon got bored so we went to an outdoor park and that was AMAZING! Emily befriended a Scottish lass called Lauren and they bonded. The park had everything from swings to roundabouts to GYM EQUIPMENT! I had a go on the walky thing and got stuck ... again. I was actually getting quite panicked at one point when they wouldn't stop and took over my legs! But its cool.. I'm still alive. Just :L.

On Friday we went to Largs, which is a seaside town kinda like Maryport. It was raining though & we got soaked. BUT I did find the last trilogy of the Darren Shan series... books 11, 12 and 13 in one. I'd finished 11 the night before and the trilogy was just under my budget so I was like MINE! Good times. Happy face :).

We came home on Saturday... that was a long and cold journey but we made it back alive. :)

& now I'm sitting in my bedroom listening to Busted and huddling inside my giant Disney jumper against the cold Winter breeze coming through the crack in my window... sigh...

We Are The Children Of The Night, We Are The Children

Where Has Our Childhood Gone?

Where has our childhood gone?

When we held hands and we sang songs?

When we played games of Queens and Kings.

And we 'proposed' with daisy chain rings.

When we could feel safe inside ourselves,

And we weren't just dolls on a forgotten shelf.

When love was just a mystery,

And we had playful bruises on our knees.

When we lived each day with happiness?

And what the future holds was anyones guess.

When we wanted to be astronauts, fire-trucks or royalty.

And our Mums would always cook our tea.

When our curfew was six p.m.

And our Dads were always happy men.

When drugs and booze were just a myth,

And our writing looked like heiroglyphs.

When Santa Claus was God of Gods,

And we never respected what we've got.

When global warming was just a scary story,

And we found the daily newspaper boring.

When teddy bears were our prada bags,

And exams were something our elder siblings had.

When lessons were nothing but ABC,

And finding our toes was our biology.

When the music we liked was Lazytown,

And our favorite outfit was our Disney Princess gown.

When designer labels were 'ELC',

And we were always so darn carefree.

When parties were full of party games,

And we didn't wish our life away.

When we would run and hug our Mums,

And spinning round and round was our idea of fun.

When we were happy to go to school,

And we thought the Teletubbies seriously cool.

When we liked attention from our family,

And we'd teeter in clip-clops so gracefully.

When we were friends with everyone,

Oh, where has this happy childhood gone?
