Erin's 12th Birthday

Today is Erin's 12th birthday. Phew she is growing fast - a young lady already!


She asked us for a mirror for her room.


As important school work approaches at Kyle a laptop was also on the list of wants. But I bet Facebook and the webcam may also get used!!!

Finally a birthday cake.

New Years Day, 2014

We took the usual photos after the bells.



In rain showers a walk along the sea front by Ayr India. Rhys took his scooter. Jumped back into the car to return home to a snug house for coffee or hot chocolate with Christmas cake!!!

Helen, Andrew, Ethan and Finlay Pay a Visit

The Darlington gang arrived for a couple days visit.



We had a great time especially re-learning (badly) how to play Cluedo. The two boys spend as much time as they could get away with playing Minecraft on the XBox.

Unfortunately Jean had a mild AF attack which meant a run to A&E for 5 hours but she was back home at 4am!!!

Other photos of the 2 days are HERE

Our Anniversary and Katherine's Birthday

Today is our 39th Wedding Anniversary and Katherine's birthday.




We went to Saffy's last night for a meal (Christmas menu) but today everyone gathered for a brunch. Big helpings of bacon, sausage, pancakes and fruit. I had some beautiful perked Costa ground coffee. A gale was blowing outside so it was comforting being indoors having a good time watching the trees dancing at the bottom of the garden followed by sprays of rain against the windows.
