Firstly. Happy New Year and thanks for your support last year, for your enjoyable comments, friendship and also for welcoming me to your blogs. 2014 was challenging in many ways. We moved house unexpectedly again in June, however recently and probably one of the reasons why my posts have been more sporadic, we have purchased a lovely cottage which we will be renovating over the next few months, which will be our permanent home, at last! I have set up a new blog to write about the trials and tribulations of renovating our Victorian cottage and hopefully if my technical skills will allow me, I will add a link to my new wordpress site. I will obviously be continuing with this one as I love writing about nature and will always be out walking my dogs. Another challenge was my mother’s serious illness, which thank goodness she seems now to be recovering from after the removal of her right kidney, a major upheaval for a 77 year old woman! She was so brave.
On a happy note, I really enjoyed being the mother of the bridegroom at my son’s Scottish wedding in July. It was such a beautiful wedding and a stunning location. I hope you enjoy the photos. Anyway I hope you will all continue to enjoy reading my blog this year and possibly take a peek at my little cottage blog. Enjoy, thank you and peace and blessings. 🙂

Such exciting news! What a fun year. Wow! Have a good time with your reno.
Thanks Brenda. It will be fun and our first home as a married couple, so romantic! I hope you enjoyed the wedding pics. My daughter-in-law’s dress was amazing! I hope you have a wonderful year! 🙂
Was that you in white and black with your son? I couldn’t tell with the veil. The men were handsome, the bride beautiful, and the setting a dreamscape. Just as a wedding should be.
Thanks Brenda. Yes, I’m in black and white. The veil had little polka dots on it, so tricky to see my face. I don’t normally wear hats, so this one was fun! 🙂
You were all very stylish, chic even. Like a Hollywood vision of a Scots wedding. 🙂
Thanks Brenda. It was lovely to be dressed up! I’ll pass your comments on to the newly weds. 🙂
I remember being a newlywed. Such a great time of life. 🙂

Thank you so much Sue for your kind thoughts and blessings. Happy New Year to you too. We had a much needed rest with lots of country walks of course and enjoyed seeing friends and family. Did you have a good Christmas? When we were at my son’s wedding,I realised how much I miss Scotland, however I am looking forward to putting my feet up by my own fire and cutting our own grass! Also not too far from Mum and dad. Hugs and blessings to you too. 🙂
Now that sounds cosy.. 🙂 and its good to be nearer to parents if they need you..
Yes Christmas was quiet.. I was a little poorly on and off in bed over Christmas with a virus infection.. coughs and sneezers.. But I am fine now.. so we had to cancel a few trips out.. But we went to my daughter new Years Eve and had a fabulous meal they had cooked and a nice old natter.. 🙂 Its been good x
Sorry to hear you were unwell at Christmas, it’s not nice.Sounds like you had a great time with your daughter at New Year catching up. Take care. Hugs 🙂
All the best for the New Year. 😀
Thank you Raewyn.All the best for 2015 to you. 🙂
