October News

I’ve had three wonderful weeks! Ian and Alison leave tomorrow ( October 8th ) for a few days in Edinburgh to visit relatives and friends and they will start their homeward journey to Toowoomba, Australia, thereafter.
Believe it or not - and if you have holidayed in the North West of Scotland you will - we have had one day of real sunshine in the three weeks - yesterday. Luckily, Ian and Alison actually do not mind a bit of wind and plenty of rain, as their part of the world is on semi-permanent water restrictions. But it has been sad that many glorious views have been shrouded in cloud. Yarrow has had a ball, setting off each morning with Alison, to collect the newspapers. However, as Alison can take some time, chatting with everyone en route I suspect, Yarrow sometimes arrives home alone! Ian, not an animal lover really, did valiantly try to befriend Sponge, till a completely undeserved swipe drew some of Ian’s blood...
SUDOKU - are you an addict? I had toyed with the idea of having the odd puzzle around, to pick up and complete off and on. Well, my ideas have altered as everyone who pops in here and two thirds of the resident population of Heron’s Flight over the last three weeks seem unable to do without it! So I’ll stick to gardening, reading and knitting, all of which I can abandon with ease!!
As you can see from the previous ’post’ to this one, “our” jigsaw is framed! It is hanging above my workdesk and I will get pleasure every day from it. Thank you everyone who helped! I shall probably have a 2006 project on the porch table - any suggestions for a subject?
I’ll be busy for a while with guests and taming the garden. The grapes are ready and this year they are really good - the crop that needs the most sparing of attention has outstripped all the others. There’s a message there for me.....
I hope you are all in good health and that you may drop in to visit in the not too distant future.
Best wishes
Ann.

Fergie Tractor Jigsaw

Hi all, Were you one of the visitors this year who contributed pieces to the jigsaw of the Fergie tractor? Did you wonder if it would ever get finished?
Well, it is now finished! and framed. I hope you like it as much as I do.
