We ARE counting the months, weeks and days until we return to Scotland. I think we have been driving our family and friends mad with enthusiastic plans and more plans for the trip. They probably would like us to go tomorrow so they can regain some peace.
Laird Peter has just shown me his latest Scotland Magazine with a lovely pic of Dunnottar Castle which apparently inspired the latest Disney movie Brave. Now he wants me to find out where it is! He is waxing lyrical and we both understand each other so well that we really don't need to discuss it, we just KNOW.
Today the weather has been quite warm, as it should be but tomorrow (or even tonight) will see a cold front come through and of course because I will be in Ballarat, it will be colder and will rain on me.
I am a little tired of having Halloween pushed in our faces, all scary masks and silly pumpkins. Oh dear. All Hallows Eve for me and him, and a little dram of something Scottish thank you. I have just posted a couple of silly pics on my facebook page, and thought I should add one here. It is of dolls and puppets, and I can proudly tell you that my Mum made some of them over 40 years ago. They are all due for new hairdos - and hair! My sister Ell gave me a bag of goodies from the Pomonal craft market where she sells her spinning and wool and knitting and was quite excited about the contents. Several packets of gorgeous doll hair of many colours and styles, and guess where they'll be used!
So here they are, in my little room, and I'm heading off for a wee dram with his Lairdship.
To Highland Titles, thanks for the opportunity and idea to start blogging, and we look forward to visiting our plots in 2013.
