Some
of you will know that my winter has been spent mostly in Edinburgh
with the Family. We all did go to Plockton at New Year, where our
friends the Sweenie Family, from Inverness, joined us. That will
have likely been the last joint holiday, as the Sweenies bought the
Craft House, in the village, and it soon will be completely renovated
– lovely!! It is only one hundred yards from Heron's Flight, so we
shall be back and fore often....
In
my absence, the pier house, Tigh an Fhaing, was put on the market, by
my neighbour of over 40 years, Teresa Peach. She has bought a
lovely, property at the Frithard end of the village - just what she
wanted for Malinky the Labradoodle and herself! I heard today Tigh an
Fhaing is sold. So I'll have to walk a good bit further than of old
– to the joint hedge – to talk to Teresa! I look forward to
meeting my new neighbours who will take over the property in early
June.
Next
Wednesday, Duncan the Shih Tzu and I travel back to Plockton. It
will be a sad journey and homecoming – my first in over ten years
without Ruah..... Some of you already know that she was put to sleep
six weeks ago, in Edinburgh, having not been really well for quite a
time.
Guests
arrive on Saturday, 28th April. Two couples from Belgium
and I look forward to welcoming them to Heron's Flight! Thereafter I
shall have quite a busy time! Several guests are coming back again,
which is especially lovely!!
I
shall miss having the family around and being able to take part in
celebrations such as Catriona's eighteenth birthday, last Sunday. It
was a very special day from start to finish.
I
shall miss Daniel's thirteenth birthday, on April 27th...
But
home beckons.......
Will
you be travelling this summer? Are you by any chance coming near the
north west coast of Scotland? If so, perhaps you will come into
Plockton and see my village and where I live....
