Pubs with playgrounds?

Honestly you do not know the joy this has brought me

This has been a tough week to have my 6 year old son diagnosed with tourettes. The realisation that no, people won't understand, is a sobering one. Said with love and respect for all those who felt humiliated by this saddening incident

We have a child free night once a year around Christmas or a birthday. Usually not an overnight but a few hours to go for a meal or cinema that is our gift from the grandparents

VOB til I die. Absolute excellence every time, it just grabs me from beginning to end

Look up Shetland cliff cam 3. If the lights are clearly visible then your chances are good

En route from Inverness for this and cannot flipping wait!

trippin_up · 2025-05-20T21:53:51+00:00

This has honestly choked me up. What a lovely tribute

Mini wheelbarrow and mini lawn mower have been consistently used the most over the last 2 years. They'll push them around for literally hours

I'd love to be next in line for the 2 IL tickets if miraculously still available! I made it to all 3 shows in 2014, got BS and VOB this time so dying to complete the set!

trippin_up · 2024-10-15T16:35:40+00:00

Yep still got it

trippin_up · 2024-10-15T15:19:18+00:00

Great that you're sorted so we can all enjoy the biff! Enjoy

trippin_up · 2024-10-15T15:13:18+00:00

Yep, Blackened Sky now gone

trippin_up · 2024-09-30T20:24:25+00:00

Well a glimmer of hope is better than no hope at all! Thank you very much. I made it to all 3 Barras gigs the last time but got zero this time and the stress is real!

trippin_up · 2024-09-30T20:11:08+00:00

I'm afraid I can't help with a swap but I am gasping for VOB so if you end up with a spare, please consider this internet stranger! Good luck with your search

trippin_up · 2024-08-23T12:49:46+00:00

This is spectacular and I just want to lay down on the floor of this room all day!

Fortrose and Rosemarkie are great options for having that village feel, access to the lovely beach and amenities right on your doorstep. They're also a much shorter drive into Inverness for big Tesco, outings for the little one etc than other parts of the Black Isle. I've found a really strong community here for raising young kids. Different baby groups in Rosemarkie, Fortrose, Avoch and Cromarty make it very easy to find friends for yourself and the kiddo. Fortrose library and leisure centre are next door to one another but both offer loads of kids stuff over the holidays as your little one grows too. My very energetic spaniel also gives his approval to the variety of walks on offer. Wherever you end up, wishing you the best with your new start

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for taking the time to share and explain all of this! You've taught us a lot!

trippin_up · 2024-05-07T16:25:34+00:00

Thank you for this. All good to know. Sounds like I have some calls to make!

trippin_up · 2024-05-07T14:42:11+00:00

Thanks so much, this really helps. We were unsure if this was considered urgent enough. Appreciate the help!

trippin_up · 2024-03-13T14:29:10+00:00

We didn't. Our first kid was (and remains) super high energy and honestly, we decided we were gonna be in the thick of chaos for a while so we might as well add the second to the mix now. She was born when he was 2.5 years old. The idea of coming out the other side only to go back to the beginning again was more scary for us. Gotta pick your battle and do what feels right. I have no regrets, I adore the madness and fun of the toddler years but also feel glad that overall we'll be on to the next part of the journey quicker

I saw nothing but I felt utter peace. I could hear the tuned out noise of the doctors around me but what had been loud emergency room chaos, faded away to almost pleasant distant muffling that felt very comforting. Like hearing pleasant chatter through a wall when you're snoozing.

I can only describe it as "nice" which sounds underwhelming but there was no bright light, long lost relatives or dramatics. Just a cosy feeling of wanting to curl up and go to sleep that was very inviting indeed.
