Rumblin Tum

The Rumblin' Tum in Moffat - our favourite ever place to eat lunch on route between Edinburgh and Dumfries and Galloway.

Scott: Daddy, keep this bit private from the blog… (spots Daddy writing) Keep this bit private from the blog. I’m going to take away the pen to ensure… (grabs pen so we can have a private discussion)

So, you want to talk about holiday?

Scott: Okay.

We go on holiday tomorrow for two weeks.

Helen: To the Rumblin’ Tum – it’s a tum which rumbles and you can eat your food in it.

Scott: I don’t know why you would eat your food in a tum.

Helen: It goes into your tummy, into the brain and feet.

So we go on holiday tomorrow.

Scott: Yes, I know we are going on holiday. (sings in a squeaky voice) Take your brain to another dimension, take your brain to another dimension…

Helen: (sings in squeaky voice) Come up and see me.

Scott: (sings in squeaky voice) Take my brain to another dimension.

Are you looking forward to going on holiday?

Helen: No!

Scott: Yeah.

What are you looking forward to?

Helen: Because we like to be in a tummy.

Scott: Because there’s a sweetie shop and we’re going to the Rumbling Tum.

Helen: I wonder what the Rumblin’ Tum is like? Daddy, is the Rumblin’ Tum in real life?
