As you see, Ruah and Amber are the best of friends.
My lost property cupboard now includes two pairs of trousers, navy and cream and a M&S top. Do they belong to you? And if you have arrived home with an extra electrical lead and you stayed in the East bedroom, then it comes from the radio beside the bed! Many guests use the bedside table on which the radio is to charge phones or plug in computers - so to unplug a wrong lead is the easiest thing in the world to do.
I’ll not order a new lead yet, as I’m sure mine will come home!
The weather since I wrote has been really poor and it has been a struggle to get much done in the garden. The late summer flowers have taken a bad battering, while the lawns and hedges have galloped onwards and upwards! The forecast for the next week or more is better, thank goodness.
It’s been a busy few weeks at home and in the village. As well as having guests most evenings, I had double glazed panes replaced in the front porch. The men have to come back with another big pane, for the east bedroom. A bird flew straight into the corner and cracked it. A sea bird, species unknown, was found two or three hundred yards away, with a broken neck – the culprit, we presume.
There has been a 25th wedding celebration, with quite a lot of the Irish nation invading us! And last Saturday Calum (the Seal Trip)'s very popular son Malcolm had his 30th party in the hall. Both of these celebrations were open to all of us and were very much enjoyed by everyone – thank you!
The schools have ten days of holiday next month and I hope some of the children will be here from Edinburgh. It’ll be before the clocks go back an hour and so still bright in the early evening. At present it is getting dark by 8.00pm.
In a week it’ll be Alison’s birthday – Happy Birthday!
It is a year now since John died suddenly, while at work in Edinburgh. I have been grateful to be very busy, keeping the house going and meeting friends old and new. I’m pleased to have been given an excellent health report after a last check up and aren’t I fortunate to have a lovely family in Edinburgh and my soul mates at Heron’s Flight, Ruah and Amber?
