St. Andrews North Sea

 This day was full of surprises. I was able to go to the beach and sit there and put my feet in the fresh blue water. Just imagine the best present you have eveer received, that is what i got today. I got to view the ocean stare into its depths. looking beyound the horizon wishing I were further and further out at sea. If one longs for the sea what does that say about them? does it say that we know there are depths to this life we have not explored? or that there is adventure flowing through our veins crying out to move and run and swim. No, its more than that, its a small knowing of a very large thing that bring out the longing for the deep. My eyes, my skin, my hairs want to be immersed in the water, seeing creatures that are not even created to live in the same environment as I, feeling the rush of ocean on my skin, drenching my hair in the substance of blue. The change that is created with a dip into fresh water is just a glimpse of real change. We are made for this experience maybe even called to it. When Jesus washes us clean, when he makes us new, he puts a longing into our hearts for the beauty set before us. We may not have to put on bathing suits and snorkel gear to enter the heavens and see its glory. But you DO have to ask to be renewed, to have the old taken off to be completely different in order to walk into the new heaven... you cannot go in with your own prepared scripts of good acts, you can only walk in with pure faith in Jesus and what HE has done for you and believe in your heart that YOU are accounted for... His words are true and he is faithful to keep them....! what a relief

 yes i am in the background here in my own little world completely happy about water on my feet... feeling quit happy that i wore proper shoes for the occasion(flip flops) while everyone else wore boots and wondered at my sandal wearing...until now..

i definatly may have stood on that rock for an hour looking at the horizon and watching for dolphins :) my kin

Music and ferries

Faery lights with bag pipe back ground. and scottish accents

Bag PIPES! GREAT SONG

FERRIE GLEN

its a dream land dancing with the ferries!!!

 this is Tom he wears funny shoes and makes his own hats.... therefore I had to take a picture :) he happens to be very funni as well.

 THis is the backyard at Tom and James' flat,,, gardening is a scarce exercise but there is no need for the labour, it looks so good anyways.
 Grandma, I thought you would like this, my friends have two bird feeders in their yard!

 Hi Tom... he didnt know where to look on the camera, it is a bit confusing, sometimes even I forget

 OK so here is the begining of the Ferrie Glen party. Last night me and three friends took the bus to Avla. Where we took part in a light show. They only do these every three years and they just restarted doing them for the second time here since lik 100 years ago!!! These are to celebrate people and to encourage the end of too much drinking in Scotland. and Here is an owl carved into some tree stump... There were other creatures here including ferries and trolls of course :) Mom you would have absolutly loved it! i was sooooo happy, it was a brilliant day because earlier in the day i went to St. Andrews and go to see the North sea!!! I have shells i will be sending home!! woooo

 THis is a marvelous ferrie who is very very tall,,,, i thought they were small creatures but here it seems as if they are on stilts!!!
 there is a magnificent waterfall in the middle of the Glen, we stood and watched it as some bagpipes played in the background

 I am litterally at a little girls dream festival with all the overhanging lights... there were lights in trees and lights by the river and lights lining the walkways
 BUBBLES!!! the tall ferrie blew bubbles and entertained the children shew as very clever and magical

 Here is a Scottish menu at the festival... We tried the Haggis, and the Tattie Scone this time.. I have been trying all kinds of new foods lately... Haggis is made of sheep innerds haha and tattie scone is just like a potatoe patty! yum
 My brilliant friends... Maya on the left just so happens to be a faerie so it was nice to see her home ;)
As you can see we are entering the festival and there are hills above us... the definition of a Glen (stated by a random lady i talked to in the part) is : a place in between two hills!!! Brilliant, who woulda known!!!

 me and a gal i met kayaking :) ello

 BBQ, this kayaking clu group opening up for people to check it out and they had free food :)

 hahah funny man was telling me about his fear of frogs and about the deep set belief that all American's carry around guns, and that is why he would never ewant to go there cause he didnt wan to get shot... today was talking to 6 other UK citizens and they were saying the same thing!!! what is that???? i thought guns were only legal in Wyoming

 its the LOCH ... pretty much i think i contains magic within it,, cause i could stare at it all day!

 WE went to a brewery in a city by stirling called Bridge of Allan and this man makes large brews in these machines! very nice fellow. here he is preparing a blueberry one for the festival this weekend!

 we walked by a field with a horse. the horse was at the other end of the field,,, and so i yelled really loud HORSEY!!! and it came over :)))) i think i guessed his name... skills

 there are some gorgeous gardens around here i thought mom and grandma would appreciate

 these signs are everywhere in the UK.... unique much

 Here is Robin she sees a slab of cement next to a tree and next to a muddy path.. and blindly thinks that the slab and the tree are a path..... no yellow brick roads around here

 This is the epic castle where they filmed most ALL scenes in Monty Python and the Holy graill... it was hilarious being here because on the tour we had headsets and you could actually listen to the history about each room and then if you wanted you could press an extra button to listen to the scenes from the movie that were filmed in each location... !!!! i was at least an hour behind everyone else cause i listened to all the seperate scenes!~

 yes along with other fascinations, mossy walls are in there too

gated pathway... very classy

 your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elder berries,, now go away before i taunt you a second time!

 I blow my nose at you.. food trough whopper son of a silly person...i fart in your general direction

 View from the top of the castle... this castle was huge,,, so many rooms and cooridors i really had no idea how much was in this thing... didnt include pictures or comments on them because honestly i do not remember much about them....

 FRIENDS

 Being a wee bit enchanted by the tug and pull of castle life and being royal and such
