June
22, 2015
The day after the longest day, northern hemisphere, and
we in Plockton still wait for summer, though, as I write in the early
afternoon, the sun has come out! But it
has been the worst June in 43 years. The
east and south have fared much better, so we hope to catch up with them in the
next few months! I am very relieved that
my holidays in Australia with Ian and Alison, then the Canary Islands with
Moira, Catriona, Sean and Daniel are to be remembered with great pleasure, for
the wonderful company and the glorious warmth!
My guests are ever cheerful and always prepared to get
on with the sight-seeing, often having to imagine what the tops of the
mountains really look like! So far, a dry
day is a bonus, a gentle breeze wonderful and a glimpse of the sun talked about
a great deal in the evening!
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all to date and
Ruah has loved you! Thank you Janet and
Terry for the recent photo o Ruah attempting to finish your crossword, while
relaxing on your bed! And Paula and Frank for introducing me to Delaware Blue
Hens!! Bob and Barry, I enjoyed chipping in on occasion to your conversations.
Graeme, your marvellous painting of Ruah arrived in today’s post. I was
expecting a PC size and now I have a precious 30cm X 20+ cm painting, mounted
and framed. You are all very kind…..
Hopefully I’ll get the entire garden tidied up
soon. The lawns, hedges and pot “plant
pot holder” are more or less under control, but there are so many corners that
do not seem to know the rule that weeds do not grow in cold weather…..lots of
corners……
Moira and the family have an addition to the house
animals. Duncan is an adorable eight
week old Shih-Tzu pup – black and white and ridiculously tiny compared to big
gentle four year old Ryan, the black lab.
Photos will follow!
I am looking forward to having a flying visit to
Edinburgh soon. Sam passed his exams
and immediately flew off to Portugal
with other happy classmates. He graduates
at the beginning of next month and hopefully will come north before beginning
his first year of hospital work. We are all delighted that, at age twenty two,
Sam is Doctor MacKenzie.
After my brief visit to Edinburgh, I hope to have some
of the rest of the family here, off and on.
I shall also welcome guests who have booked to visit and maybe you, if
you are passing?
Best wishes
Ann
