Glad the sun was shinning for them, the photos are wonderful Betty, what a nice place to have the wedding and they look so happy. My brother was married in the kilt and so was his son and it really looked so good. It was very nice of you to share them with us Betty and pass on my good wishes to them for a long and happy life. It is some thing we miss over here as we do not have many family to shre thing with and it was so good to have our visitors from home to share things with the more the merrier. Ann

Who are those pretty pretty girls, they look great Betty, I bet your are proud of them. I have been trying to see what is in the background if it is strawberries or tomtoes in the boxes. I would take some photos to show you the shops here but we are not allowed to take pictures any more just in case you are a terrorist. I may be able to get some from a newspaper. Glad you posted those nice pics. thank you for sharing them with us Betty.

My Nephew got married a couple of weeks ago in Balgonie Castle, it was perfect weather and it was nice to see family and friends and catch up. my Niece's wee girl was the flower girl.

Hi all, just catching up, what a mixture of weather as usual here in the uk, a tornado no less, in Birmingham, and quite a lot of damage too, never know what to wear these days when going out. I have just got rid of my car at the weekend as I have my bus pass and don't go very far these days really, so I gave it to my son who gave it to me in the first place. have had a visit from a couple of friends from Australia and spent an afternoon catching up, others due later this month. had my 2 year old grandaughter Sarah for the weekend, this is a photo of her (on the left)and my Great-Grandaughter Aimee, taken a few weeks ago in the supermarket

This is Tabitha all packed and ready to move to her new home, it was very bewildering for the cats and dogs. The dog decided just to have a sleep instead.

Hi Keith, the cat we have now did the same thing it must have come inside when we opened the door to go out, and we got the shock of our lives when we found the cat in the house on our return. She did not like the children picking her up all the time and she slept outside at her other home, now it is a bed at the fire an all tucked up, she would not like to live in Scotland it would be to cold for her, she is a sunlover and looks for a place to sit in the sun. When our neighbours go on holiday we look after the animals for them cat, birds and fish, but puss does not like the cat coming in her garden. We have had a few cats and they all lived to a ripe old age one was almost 20 and her kittens lived almost as long. It was hard for them when we moved house getting used to a new place and trying not to lose any of them. It has been a very nice day today clear sky nice sun and quite warm I hope you are getting the same, and enjoying the holidays.

Hi Ann,
I thought Hamish was going to fix those big #OOPS#atoos!

You are right about cats choosing their owners. Some years ago now, I left the door ajar whilst I went for the daily newspaper. I then left for work. Later that morning my wife found a ginger tabby asleep in the bedroom! My wife didn't scare it or anything bad so maybe that was a big mistake, for now it treats us as its reserve home. It transpired that it lived 14 doors down the road. Now whenever it can't get into its own house, It comes and howls/sings at our door to see if we will let it in and particularly if the weather is wet or cold we usually comply. Its owners have just been on holiday for three weeks. They made arrangements for the cat to be fed every lunchtime (garden shed) but the cat is a people cat and craves company so it has hardly been away from us all that time except to get food. It loves to lie on someones lap - any lap will do as long as the owner will tolerate it - it even jumps up on visitors that are unknown to it.
Its real owners are back now so we have seen less of it this week but it still comes for attention now and again.

We have had two cats of our own in the past. One lived to the age of 12 (mother) and the other to 18 (daughter). We have also previosly had a dog (unrelated) but have no pets at present.
