Hey everyone! Sorry its been a while since my last post but January has been exhausting. Once mum went back to work and dad finally went back to school, it took me a few days to get back into my routine of sleeping, eating, stretching and sleeping again. Now I'm all rested up and am ready to tell you all about my newest adventure....
Mum and dad took me to see my very first castle on Saturday! It was awesome!
Saturday morning we got up early and headed to the bus stop. After about an hour, and a ride through some beautiful countryside, the bus dropped us off right outside of Dirleton Castle. As we walked through the gates, I got a big rub from the man who worked there. He was really nice.
When we got to the castle, mum let me off the leash to run around. It was so much fun to explore all the passages and rooms. We even got to play hide and seek a couple of times. I'm a really good finder though so mum never got lost.

| Two gigantic fireplaces in the kitchen. Can you see me? |
We had a beautiful day to explore too. The sky was such a pretty blue and the sun was shinning bright. It was a little bit chilly but I have a fur coat so it didn't bother me.
Mum and dad said that Dirleton was smaller than some of the other castles they had been to, but that it had some really cool features. I've included some pictures so you can see for yourselves.

After we explored the castle, we headed across the road to The Castle Pub for lunch. There was a nice, warm fire going and mum brought a bone for me to have while she and dad ate lunch.
After lunch we walked around a Kirkyard for a bit while we were waiting for the bus. You have to be careful with the buses outside of town because even though it says it comes very 30 minutes, the bus that goes all the way home only comes every hour. It's all about the fine print here.
And when I got home I took a nap. That was a lot of history for one pup to take in. But I am definitely looking forward to exploring more castles. If you come to visit me, I'll play hide and seek with you too.
Cheers,
Luther
