Delight – and relief – after reaching the top of Hopetoun Monument, near Haddington in East Lothian.
What did we do today?
Scott: Eh… Went to a fruit farm and climbed up a very, very, very, very, very, very tall hill.
Helen: Hill?
Scott: Hill. Stop copying me.
What was at the top of the hill?
Scott: Eh… A big tower and it was very, very, very, very, very…
Helen: Very, very, very, very, very…
Okay, I get the idea…
Scott: High up. So to say, infinite very high up.
Helen: Yeah – but infinity is not a number so probably 100.
Scott: More than that.
Was the tower scary?
Scott: I got scared when it was high up and really dark.
Helen: I agree.
How was the farm?
Scott: Oh, it was great.
What was the best bit?
Scott: Probably the stuff when you got to do things with hay.
What kind of things?
Scott: Do fun things, but why do they leave a five centimetre gap for you to crawl? They expect children to be very small to fit through that…
What did you have to eat?
Scott: I had a scone with jam and cream.
Helen: Juice.
Scott: Yeah, she didn’t eat anything at all – anything.
Did you not have anything, Helen?
Scott: Oh yeah, and I had an apple – and you had one too.
Helen: I ate too much – I had tummy ache.
