September
11, 2016.
It is a
very “dreich” evening here and getting dark already, at 6.15 pm!
We have had very mixed weather recently, but tonight has not been the
norm - strong – no, gale force – winds have been common and the
rain, not too much of it though, has whizzed horizontally past
Heron's Flight!! Sometimes it has been very warm too....
The
village has been exceptionally busy. Heron's Flight has had many
lovely guests and I have enjoyed meeting everyone!
Wee Duncan
the Shih Tzu is settling down, slowly..... He is having to learn
that here one does not bark at the postman, when the door bell rings,
when one gets a fright from something as simple as a bush, much
larger than he, waving in the wind! Ruah can be tolerant – but
often her eyes beseech me to rescue her, when one year old's play
time goes on too long!! Happily, Ruah does retaliate occasionally!
Alison
from Toowoomba is here! She left home on August 19th and
had a holiday first in Iceland, on a fabulous cruise round the whole
island; she saw the Northern Lights on the last night on board! –
her photographs are wonderful!
She got to
Glasgow last week and had three days with cousins. I met her train
in Inverness on Tuesday – I was very excited, as you will all
imagine! We shall stay in Plockton and do the odd trip away till
nearer the end of the month. I have guests coming and going and
Alison is getting on with here latest cross stitch project and
walking a dog, weather permitting! We have many people to visit in
Plockton too.
Then we
shall drive to Edinburgh to see Moira and her family and another
cousin. We may leave the two dogs with Moira and go to the Borders
for a couple of days.
Alison
flies home to Australia then – and I shall, with Ruah and Duncan,
make my way home then too. I shall miss her very much..... As I
miss Ian, the wonderful big brother who emigrated to Australia and
met Alison......
