Pleased about your nephew Mo and hope your son is feeling better Rita.

Oh and I went to Scotland on holiday some years ago, Edinburgh, Fort William, Loch Ness, Skye, Oban. The scenery was lovely.

Hello Rita, my family are fine thank you. I had good news today about my nephew. He is home, and he is having a nurse who comes in to do his medication.
They took the bad tooth out,that they said had caused all his problems, and he improved straight away, bless him.
How is your son doing now love.?
No news from Marilyn tonight, I am wondering if she is at the hospital with her neighbour again.

Cheers Stephen, that warmed the cockles of the heart.

I was to late to say goodbye to my mum. The home phoned to say mum was in the ambulance on her way to the hospital, and by the time we arrived there, she had gone.
But she had only just passed,and was still warm when I kissed her and said my goodbye.
Why oh why were the traffic lights against us all the way, and a black bird seemed to be following us all the way there.

A nice dram of fine Maly Whisky for those that need a wee sensation.

Yvonne, at least hubby will be able to have chat with his mum before she departs this life.

I was so glad to have been able to say my goodbyes to my Mum.

Linda.....where's the pressies ? What have you brought us ?
Glad you had a good time.

Snow around 5ins deep. The higher you go the deeper it gets.

Hello everyone
Back home and back here
Did you all get a bit of the sunshine today?
Stephen not sure what that white stuff you got was, as the only white we saw was on a beach or in a glass, pinacolada's !!!! LOL
Had a fabulous time. Very relaxing, just what we needed. Sun everyday. Some rain to please the locals, as it is badly needed.
We walked lots, I even managed the gym. But don't think it counter balanced the extra calories of 3 meals a day plus some alcohol. Will see when I get on the scales tomorrow. Read lots of books, no internet, and yes I did miss you all.
Pile of post when we came in. Including the census forms. Haven't looked at it yet Rita.
We were lucky to be in Club seats there and back, finally hubbys long service and seniority paid off. Slept a while last night. Til they woke us at 4:00am for breakfast............... I could only face a coffee. Have dropped off this afternoon when we got back from Gatwick.
Ugh piles of washing to do tomorrow and will need to get some food in too.

Try to get back later.

Linda :o) XxX

Get the malt out Stephen, afraid I'm not going anywhere.
My son is coming up your way again next month, visiting S's family in Motherwell.
Her gran will be up at St Andrews, getting their caravan ready for the season.
How deep is your snow at the moment. I see they have forecast more for Scotland.

Message for Shelly.
Is your membership due soon. I know we have been renewed at the same time in the past.
I have just got a reminder that my membership is due on the 25th March, and guess what, the price has gone down to £7.96. That makes a pleasant change,as everything else has gone up in price.

Hi Pat and Stephen.

patricia,

Fort Wlliam is about half way up the length of Scotland, further North the land is more rugged and the scenery so grand.
The people are so friendly and kind. They still have manners and politeness.
September is a good month.........tress are turning and the colours glorious.
