Yesterday

Yesterday was very busy. First we went for a walk to Bennan View Point then back to the car park via The Secret Cages. It was 5 miles but I enjoyed it . Then we went to castle douglas for a chippie. I had a chicken kebab which was OK.I will have a fish supper next time. Then we watched Bee Movie. I liked it and the best bit was when the bees landed the enormous plane just on bee wing power! I had a really good day!!!!

Our bean sprouts.

Today i have planted some bean sprouts. They're going to be tricky to look after though, because you have to rinse and drain them twice a day.Fortunately it is only 4-6 days. Once they are ready we are going to use them in a stir-fry.

Hagia Sophia

Recently we have been playing a game called Civilization IV which is a history game which involves lots of world wonders. I saw one called the Hagia Sophia and decided to research it. Here are my results.

The Hagia Sophia is the mother church of Eastern Christianity . It was also known as Holy Wisdom. It is one of the Eight Wonders Of The World. It is located in Istanbul. It is currently a museum. Hagia Sophia means Divine Wisdom. There was three Hagia Sophias and the first two were burned to the ground. The third still survives today.

Here's a picture of Hagia Sophia and its impressive fountains

New Galloway train station

On Sunday we went to mossdale where there was an old, closed train station.We went out along the road which used to be a train track. Yesterday i found out more about the railway line. Here is the result of my research.

The railway line was open from 1861 until 1965. It was known as the Port Road which was written about in the book "The Lost Railway Lines Of Galloway".

Here are some pictures.

Pasta night

Last night we had some friends round for a home made pasta meal! We had made a selection of fine sauces (Tomato sauce ,mushroom sauce and pesto) and pasta (tagliatelle and spaghetti). Also we had a 12 pack of Stella Artois beer for the grown ups.

Forest ramble

When we arrived at stranord forest we explored about a bit and found a trail of orienteering markers . We galavanted about the forest for a while and found more markers . I had fun!!
