Ayrshire Day Out

-

#DaysOut: Another Friday day off means another little day out / road trip with Suzie!  This time we decided to visit Ayrshire.  We visited Heads of Ayr Farm Park, Electric Brae, Ayr Beach & Cecchini's Italian Restaurant.

What a lovely day we chose for it the weather was scorching!  How lucky we were.  The first stop for us was Heads of Ayr Farm Park.  I didn't actually take too many pictures while we were there

Cute baby prairie dog!



Did I mention it was pretty hot?  We decided it would be nice just to have a wee sit down / lie in the sun and relax for a bit, so out came the beach towels, and of course snapchat filters!  Haha.





After leaving Head of Ayr Farm Park, we headed for Electric Brae.  I thought it would be good to check it out while we were over that way! The only thing was, I couldn't find anywhere to turn around once we'd passed it, so did a few extra miles finding somewhere suitable! I got a tiny sense of the whole looking like you are going uphill when you are going downhill feeling, but I don't think you can really appreciate it until you are either cycling, or stopping your car and letting it freewheel, which I couldn't do as there were cars in front and behind - and I don't think I would have liked to anyway considering it is just after a corner!

The scenery was stunning between the Farm Park and Electric Brae.  After stopping in a layby to let an ambulance past - great timing! - the scenery was too nice not to stay there for a bit and take some pictures!  We could see Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran really clearly.

Once we returned to Ayr, we went for a nice walk along the beach.  I had a 99 cone, as what trip to the beach is complete without one...!?  After that it was time to go for (proper) food, and our restaurant of choice was Cecchini's.  The food was lovely and service brilliant.


The sunset was stunning when we walked back to the car park, so I shall end with this lovely picture...

      I had to stop in each and every lay by because I just loved the views so much! Was very lucky it was a bright day so I could see Ailsa Craig & Arran really clearly.

      He was very handsome :) x

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 - Nigeria

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 Nigeria Nails & Football, two of my favourite things! I am so excited to be taking part in this challenge, which is the brainchild of Emily over at Nailsxo .   Everybody who is taking part in the challenge was assigned a random Country which is taking part in the World Cup in Brazil (not long until it starts, yay!).  After being given the Country (I was assigned Nigeria ), the challenge was to make some nails based on the Country.  Also, which ever teams wins the World Cup, the person who was assigned them wins a prize (although, let's face it... I'm not really expecting Nigeria to do that well)! So here they are: My index and little fingers are my own take on Nigerian fabric patterns. I was using my friend google to help me find some inspiration for my nails.  I found a  website about Nigeria , and found out that tie dying is very popular.  I also did a google image search for Nigerian...

Aussie Daft!

If you don't already know, I am a huge fan of Formula One.  I have watched it for as long as I can remember, back in the days where there were races on TV at 3am in the morning. Back then, the driver I was cheering on was David Coulthard - he comes from the same region as me!  Fast forward to 2007 and as well as cheering for DC, I couldn't help but also root for DC's teammate Mark Webber - another intelligent driver and nice guy.  Following on from Webber's retirement, his replacement at Red Bull in 2014 was another Aussie, Daniel Ricciardo.  It is hard not to warm to Ricciardo, as he is one of the smiliest and most genuine drivers on the grid - he is also a very talented racing driver, producing some wonderful overtakes, and completely outshining champion Sebastian Vettel in his first season with Red Bull. What a squad! Touchdown 🏈 excited to be here. Baku! A photo posted by Daniel Ricciardo (@danielricciardo) on Jun 15, 2016 at 12:00pm PDT ...
