March 18 Long time no see!Hey all! It has been ages since I managed to get onto write here! I spend months trying to remind everyone to visit regularly and then stop writing. We just have such a busy life here!
So what have we been doing over the last year?! We spent a couple of weeks last summer in the south of France, which was a blast - if an expensive one! The kids really enjoyed it. WE rented a villa with a pool near Valbonne which is near Cannes. We spent far too much money doing far too little!( I will upload some photos) So we decided to do something a bit cheaper next year and went and booked to go to Florida!!! Hmmm absolutely no sense in that reasoning at all!! We are going with our great friends Dougie and Annie and their 2 gorgeous girls. Hope it lives up to their mark though, Dougie just came back from husky dog racing in Greenland!! We don't go til October which seems like a lifetime away! Holly will be in high school then - she will be almost 12 and joe will be almost 10! God where do the years go?
We spent the rest of last summer walking and visiting the neighbouring wee islands on Dougie and Annie's boat. What a blast!
Christmas was another huge success. Mum and dad came and made it extra special and Hogamany was spent in our house with 60 of our friends!! It was a lovely night, dry and a star filled sky meant that Nick had to light the fires outside and most people were sat drinking and singing outside! Lucy and Matt and their new baby daughter surprised and came to stay for a few days, too! Its a good job we have a large house! I never stop grumbling about having to clean a 5 bedroomed house when we only use 3 bedrooms but its great for entertaining! We spent newyears day at our friends who live over at ARdmaddy Castle for a barby in the barn. Great times take a look at the pics.
We had our house on the market for a few weeks but decided not to sell in the end because we couldn't guarantee a house here on Seil. So I am really pleased. But it has given Nick the DIY bug again!! He wants to make half of our garage into a garden room and install a sauna/hot tub. So watch this space!
I have to go and clean our pigsty of a house now as my mum and dad are arriving for easter, tomorrow. I also want to get on with diggin the veggie plot over for this years stock. We don't have a greenhouse anymore as it blew away in a gale so don't know what I w ill do to grow my seedilings.
We are thinking about getting a few hens but I want to hatch my own. So I am keeping an eye on ebay for a cheap incubator. There doesn't seem to be such a thing as a cheap one....anyway watch this space!!
Keep in touch.
Love
Karen
