Well, lots of catching up. I have been a bit slack about keeping up to date - so that probably means that you have given up looking! Well just on the off chance that you take a peek, I will add some more info and pics.

 

So, what has happened since the summer?? We have been up and down the road a few times to see you all and of course to see the Robster!

Nick and I went to see Robbie in september - it was a bit like planes trains and automobiles! We caught the train to Glasgow and had a nice day mooching around Glasgow some yummy nosh at Wagamamas (so sophisticated compared to Oban!) then we flew to East Mids, Clare and Ade kindly put us up then we were picked up by Claire and Jason and driven to Milton Keynes for the gig. We stayed in a cool hotel with a gym and pool. We had gold circle bands so we turned up at the gig just as the main man was coming on. We snook clare into the gold circle by sliding our bands off. She was wetting her knickers thinking she would get chucked out!! Such a goody two shoes!

 

The boy did good, it has to be said. Although it wasn't as good as Knebworth! We were in the gold circle there too so were a bit spoiled. I will add a few photos - Clare was supposed to be emailingme more....ahem, Clare.....when you are ready. We drove back to Keg the next day, then flew to Glasgow, train to Oban and car back to Seil island! How cool?? Bloody knackered for a week afterwards though!!

 

We have just about finished the kitchen and it is looking fab! There should be photos here.

 

In October I had a birthday and Nick gave me a fab surprise! He bought me a new car. He and the kids did loads of sneaking around - which did cause me to be suspicious but I didn't know what was going on! So take a look at the photos to see what I got! Not the most practical car for a family of 4 with 2 dogs and living in ARgyll where it rains all the time!

 

Holly and Joe had their birthdays last week - holly was ten and had 4 friends over for a false nail painting party and 'sleep over' (I use the term sleep very loosely!) For their tea they finished up with a chocolate fountain...not a good idea...ended up a chocolate and saliva cocktail! Ughh!

Joe had a footy party with a couple of his pals then tea in town and back to seil for a video fest. He had a great time and was much more civilised than his big sister!

 

So we are now planning for christmas and I am as disorganised as usual! Ihaven't bought a thing. I have no idea what to give to the kids - they were given what they asked for for their birthdays and haven't asked for anything else! So Now I have now idea where to start. So a trip to Glasgow calls! Aaaggh!

 

We aren't coming back to Keg til next year. It will be in half term. It seems such a long time since we saw you all and we are missing you heaps...specially mum and dad, pete and mary and Lucy & Matt. Can't wait to come back and see you all.

 

You all know that Brenda has been ill for the summer and so to update you - she is doing much better. She has been home for a month and is getting quickly back to normal. She is looking forward to a noisy christmas and new year with us all.

 

Its going to be pretty hectic here! My mum and dad are coming for christmas and new year (YAY!!!!) and Lucy and Matt may come on over too. Fingers crossed! So Wesleys B&B is going to be heaving! Can't wait! Mum will have her work cut out cleaning up after this lot!!

 

Well, I had better go and keep trawling t'internet for chrimbo pressies!! HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!
