We kicked off this weekend with a 1940s event at the House of the Binns. With Scotland in the throes of its first official heatwave of the year, we were a bit anxious about having Missy out. The work around was to go right at the start of the day and stick to the shade, with Missys cool coat being brought along just in case.
The tactic paid off as we had a lovely day. It wasn't too busy - the spy trail doubled up as our walk and between the shade and the breeze, Missy was absolutely fine.
The day itself was good fun with a coulple of reenactment groups doing demos as well as the aforementioned spy trail. Lots of folk got dressed up to join in the "best dressed" competition, so it was good fun and generally good vibes
The heatwave continued into today, although it was a bit cloudier and a little cooler (21C instead of 25C), which meant that I had made the right choice for P in the Park.
The morning was cool and, honestly, it wasn't until we hit noon that I brought out the cool coat. Maisie and my brother joined us, and we had a great time browsing the stalls and watching the demos. An unexpected highlight was the dog dancing - my brother loves a really good dog trick, so I was surprised he'd never seen heelwork before. Needless to say, he was very impressed!
We did leave early after Missy competed in best rescue (alas, no ribbon), bit both felt that we had definitely got the best of the day.
And that's it! We're now hiding indoors and resting up after 2 busy days. I do wish they'd spread these events out more!
Until next time!
