Getting better

You know parents never stop parenting and thank goodness for that because as I spent last week recovering from my op I would have been lost without the help of my parents. They took a week out of their lives to come and live with me and did everything for me. As a result my recovery went very smoothly and I was able to kick back and take it easy and Jamie was able to go to work as normal without having to take time off (and thanks to Mam came home to a cooked meal every evening). A massive thank you to them both for the week. I miss them already.

Thanks to everyone for the flowers, cards, phone calls and texts. It's great to have so many family & friends wishing me better and my house smells wonderful!

Door to the past

You might remember a couple of years back a post about my Mother always trying to declutter her house of her children's old junk? Well, last weekend I got an offer to take another item away - one which also brings back so many memories. AND I actually considered taking it for all of 6 seconds.

The Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry, Scotland was where we spent this Halloween. The weather for the most part was very wet but it actually stopped raining for the time we spent in the forest which was great.

We didn't dress up but did some very dodgy face painting to get into the spirit of it. I never saw myself as an artist of any kind and this face painting proves it!

We had a good ol' weekend though and it was the third McGowan / Moriarty trip to Scotland so we can definately now class this as an annual event.
