Hello
It’ll soon be time for me to pack the car and head to Edinburgh for Christmas. We’ll go there on the 22nd, probably, and come back two or three days before New Year. Perhaps Sam or Catriona, or better still both of them, will fancy a few days here.
Christmas will be a good time for our family. John and I will spend the days with Moira, Colin and the four children. It is usually a time of quite a bit of excitement, as you can imagine! Meal times fit round children’s routines at this time and that avoids quite a bit of stress, when the ages range from me to one!
I’ll be quite happy to wend my way home, with or without children in tow. Yarrow’s activities are curtailed of necessity in Edinburgh – he does not shine when on the lead! So he will be glad to be home. He just gets comfortable and sleeps away the journey and, when I take the sharp right off the main road at Balmacara, he usually “comes round” and gets excited – only 4 miles to go! Dolan used to tease me hinting that it was not the dog’s “second sense” but the driver’s speed round the acute corner!!
New Year Dolan and I always spent at Heron’s Flight. Nothing changes….. I’ll visit family and friends and have visitors too. Dolan’s sister and brother will be at “35”, the family home. Katie, the eldest of the family, stays there while Janet and John visit frequently, from Inverness. Janet’s daughter Sandra lives near Plockton too. And that is just some of the close family. There can be plenty of visiting…….
This year I hope my email greetings will reach you. Rather than send cards in 2006 I made up an email list and decided to send a donation to charity. Well, the electrical surge in October wiped all my data in the desktop……. I had bits and pieces saved on the laptop and have spent time “resurrecting” lists, which I am sure are not complete. So, if a card usually arrives from me and does not – and you do not get an electronic message, I’m so sorry – and please get in touch with by email, if you wish.
I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Good New Year.
Ann
