Spring News

Ruah and I have been dotting back and fore to Inverness for the last five weeks. However we are going nowhere for a long time now!

The radiotherapy treatment went much more quickly than I’d anticipated and there have been very few reactions – a slight loss of appetite is not a bad thing at all!

The garden is not looking too untidy, though soon it’ll be time to get the lawns cut, edges done and of course the weeds yanked out. The really severe winter weather has no doubt killed off a few plants – why do the weeds seem to be completely unaffected?

John paid a surprise visit at the weekend, in his new car. We went for a run on to Skye and, apart from that, talked our heads off! John left yesterday.

Sam is coming by train tomorrow, depositing Catriona at Auntie Janet’s en route. The Gang Show is on in Inverness and Catriona will enjoy that. Cousin Hamish is also at Janet’s, so there will be a lively house there!

Perhaps you remember that I had some water damage last September? The repair work was due to start on November 16 and I cleared the kitchen and sitting rooms of all small items for that. Well, the work is still not nearly finished and an assessor is coming on Thursday, to see what state the house is in. John was so disappointed with the work done to date that he is coming north for Thursday to meet the assessor. In all this time Sponge, Ruah and I have lived in the kitchen, as the Rayburn is on. It has been a cosy winter!

There are a lot of visitors in the village just now. I am really missing the company of all of you…. But the house and I will be ready for action some time in the not too distant future.

I’m looking forward to friends calling in, when they are in the village. See you soon? Ruah and Sponge will be delighted too.

PS:

David and Pam – thank you for leaving a message in the Guest Book – it is really lovely to know that friends made quite a few years ago still keep in touch with the news at Heron’s Flight.
I’ve just had another look in the book and see two more messages - thank you very much – I remember such good times with you all…….. The castle is bought – again…..more on this another time!

And finally! Alison, thank you for the super quotes and “Big John” for the Heron’s Flight kitchen calendar!

Quick news re Ann

Just a quick word to let Ann's friends know that her treatment has gone well, and she is in good cheer.
