Photo from Edinburgh
Having just published a post with Ruah and Charlie in the limelight, I really should add a photo of the children - the best I could do with four to focus on the camera!

Late March,11
The clocks change this weekend.
25/3/11
I’m in Edinburgh for a few days, staying with Moira, Colin and the family. It is a busy household! Today Moira was working in Perth but Colin had time off and did the school runs. I went to Gullane to visit our first cousins, “the twins” Ann and Margaret, having deviated on the way south yesterday to visit Celia in Blackburn and Dorothy in Bathgate.
The schools have a half day on Fridays so Nicola, Catriona’s friend, was here, after Colin had taken them all to the park for some pretty vigorous exercise, I know! Sean was not finished at that – he still had football practice, after tea. The girls and Daniel had decorated a double sponge cake for pudding – lovely!
Tomorrow Catriona has dancing – she has been at classes since she was a little girl and she loves ballet, jazz and tap. By the way, she is no longer little – eye to eye with me this visit!! She’ll be eleven on April 15th.
Sam comes home tomorrow for the Easter holidays. We are all looking forward to seeing him. I was hoping that he might come north for a while, however I know now I’ll be in Raigmore Hospital from April 5, for a few days – and taking it easy for a week or two after that. Sam can come for a longer time in the summertime, when there is much more activity and plenty of sailing. The other children will come then as well and Moira and Colin will be around at Regatta time - a lot to look forward to!
It is now the 28th and I’m still\in Edinburgh – going north tomorrow, I think! Ruah has been happy to be with her cousin, Charlie. Ryan, the one year old Black Labrador, still tends to beat Ruah up – his idea of playing. Ruah is not amused….
It has been good to be of a little use – taking the younger children to school, doing some laundry, helping in the garden and taking Sam out to lunch!
I am looking forward to getting B&B and self catering under way from May 14th. Not having had guests at all last year makes this beginning all the more exciting!
I hope I’ll see you during the summer.
