I wish you all a Happy New Year - belatedly.
Over two hours ago I wrote a long letter and proceeded to try to send it to the website - new territory for me!!
Well, it has all disappeared and now I’ll give you a synopsis, before I turn into an ice block in this cold room.........
I did have a very pleasant time in Edinburgh over Christmas and enjoyed staying with John. We had Christmas and Boxing days at Moira’s, where the excitement was tangible. Catriona left her roller skates from Santa when we headed to Plockton soon after. She did enjoy her first taste of New Year Celebrations in the Highlands!
On the 12th January we had the worst weather in living memory - winds of! 30MPH here. A whole family of five was swept to sea on one of the islands - an unbelievable tragedy. Damage to houses, gardens and boats paled into incognizance.
Only this weekend has the rain and wind gone and the welcome winter sun, daylight stretching noticeably and cheerful early spring flowers make me determined to start thinking of welcoming guests at Easter. This week I am going to Inverness to pick up a new car - a Honda Jazz, in red, which Yarrow will like too!
So perhaps we’ll see you at Heron’s Flight - which would be lovely.
