Time's flying -it's well into May....

May 8th, 2011

It has been quite an eventful time since my last news.

On April 5th I was again in Raigmore Hospital, for the closure of an ileostomy. The hoped for three or four night stay stretched to twelve. Restrictions of no lifting, no pushing, no pulling, no gardening etc. are easing and I’ve been driving for a couple of weeks – what a relief!

I fully intend that visit to Raigmore to be my last – ever!

Ian and Alison arrive home in Toowoomba tomorrow morning. They have been round the world, visiting Europe where they had a fantastic Rhine cruise and I missed a holiday in Paris with them…… They visited friends in the United States of America and flew home via Auckland. Alison succumbed finally to the cold Ian had been doing his best not to spread over the globe – she is arriving home with pneumonia. I bet your own bed feels just so luxurious, Alison and Ian.

The Edinburgh family is flourishing. Sam phones and sounds on top of the world, Catriona emails, with little funny faces at the end of each letter, while Sean and Daniel perfect their football and trampoline skills. I am hoping that they will all spend a good length of time here in the summer holidays, as I missed them at Easter.
.
My B&B/self catering life begins again on Saturday. I am really looking forward to that! My diary is quite full and I look forward to meeting again some very good friends.

If you have not yet visited Plockton, perhaps you will soon. Ruah and I would like to meet you.

I’ll write again soon.
