Into the Unknown

Happy New Year ! 2013 was certainly a big adventure and this year will prove to be another. The house build has begun and I’ve a few exciting news stories up my sleeve on the art front. We’ve just come home after 2 weeks in a cottage not far from here, where a good time was had by all. In preparation for Christmas I embraced the convenience of online grocery shopping – both the coal man and the Tesco man arrived at the same time, Titus went mad and the cats nearly hitched a ride back to Wick. When the commotion died down I discovered that I had ordered 20 bags of apples instead of 20 apples! Consequently one of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat more fruit – starting with the apple mountain. Another resolution was to start my visual diary again – the last one stopped soon after Ned died because my pictures where empty without his face, but now there is a new face (in case you hadn’t heard!).

5 down, 360 to go!

Titus & Dylan made a lot of noise

The Unknown to some - but Dylan mistook him for my Dad!

What day is it?

As always I have no idea what day of the week it is at any point between Christmas and New Year, except for today! We are without internet at the moment so whilst I am momentarily connected to the outside world I bring you a short photographic summary of Titus’s first Christmas, with his new best friend, Dylan. Once I have opened all my presents(!) I shall resume numerous artistic pursuits and promise to bring you something new next week……..





A lovely sunny Boxing day - thankfully, North Scotland escaped the worst of the weather

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Just a wee blog post today. My parents have travelled 600 miles north to spend a relaxing Christmas with us and we are all "relaxing" in front of a crackly log fire, with a wee dram before supper (amidst the chaos caused by not one, but two young hyper active dogs!)
