Well here we are in 2024, another hyear under our belts, year 22. And my pal George said ” If you last 5 you will be doing well” !!

But it is coming to that time when decisions have to be made and the day is fast approaching. If I do pacvk it in I guess I will sit down and write the book. ‘The Real Story of Rona’, now that wiull be interesting.

Anyway, back to December, the New Year and now.

A wee Gallery to start us off:

Heading off to Edinburgh before Christmas, the heating in Escape cottage decided to throw a wobbly, not being too aquaint with it I struggled to get it going but looking back over notes we cracked it and away it went (which reminds me now the guests have left I have to turn it down).

Sad to see the stone astragel in the big window breaking, I always meant to take it away gently, now it is in pieces. Must have been lack of pressure from above, a wee bit of movement I guess.

We have for the last few years gone to Edinburgh for a pre-Christmas break and greatly look forward to it, via the Panto in Inverness where my Grand Daughter is performing. So I will save you the whole story but a really good time was had and we look forward to doing the same next year.

All to soon it was time to head home to the rain. Sitting waiting for Seaflower we were treated to a seal pup waiting for its motrher on the slip at Portree. It was quite unconcerned until the tourists turned up.

So we sat and watched from the car, then these guys decided selfies were in order, which annoyed the pup who left the scene after ten minutes of ‘hassle’.

Once the guy stuck the camera in the pups face he said enoughs enough, Bye.
