Well christmas is coming , And as every year [ though this year i thought it would be the boat ]My car is tinseled > I know , its abit silly but it does make people smile and cheer them up. This makes me happy and i have no problem dealing with all the laughter and pointing.
Plus kids love it and the one year i didn't do it , i had some disappointed  children in the area. Its abit sparse looking at the photo but more can be added later HaHa , { evil laugh as Mark hates me doing this and really hates driving it ]

Top photo Hamish one of my lovely nephews from my sister. Always doing something . Lovely young lad and proud of him and his brother Angus [ who i will camera catch at some point.
Bottom  photo in her parlour gear [ milking  that is] is my wonderful sis Rosie.
Sporting the new end of year , highly fashionable milking dungerees hat , to protect the hair from long drop cow pats. And a few delicately placed , normally by the cows tail coo poo splatters.
As you are putting milk in the tea or on the cornflakes , please remember what people like my Sister and brother in law go through.to bring your milk to you. So don't complain about the price . Its too damned cheap.
I have a sweet sis and to save me money at xmas , she has agreed to let me do house cleaning as a pressy. more photos will be forthcoming as i will be there at weekends.Also this weekend was my Uncle Andrews 80th birthday and thanks to his lovely daughters and their husbands , he was brought down to Stranraer for a wee trip. I got to visit them at  the holiday cottage they were staying at Aird school at Castle Kennedy . It was brilliant to see them all again and my Uncle Andrew was well into celebrating and looking not a day over 70.
Had a lovely get together
And to top it all off , my lovely man is up for a wee while.It is so good to see him again and it was perfect when this morning he fixed the lights in my car and then helped me rake leaves up. ahh sweet .It got alot done and the day went quicker , with the two of us working together. We do tend to take the piss out of each other but that make it all fun and games instead of work,
goodnight to all

#seasthefuture Scotlands International Marine conference

Hi folks I feel honoured to have attended Scotlands very first marine international conference. Since my little adventure , i have gained much more confidence . But still, attending a conference full of passionate dedicated highly qualified scientists , terrified me. As the event progressed , i realy appreciated having my wonderful daughter to lead me by the hand , help me formulate my questions and with some people , stop me losing my temper. Bethany is doing a phd in evolution involving genes . There is much more involved but climate change was relevant for her so she attended too Our fantastic host for this event was Collin Moffat, Scottish government minister for marine. #seasthefuture . He was very amusing and kept our attention with wit and treating us like a group of friends. People from all over the world were in attendence . Organisations from all aspects of marine study were available to answer questions . PhD students presented information on their studies , which w

 Some old photos, we don't get snow in the South Rhinns very often , but when we do its a show stopper  This is a few years ago . Cows had to be fed and checked even though it took Mark 3 days sitting in the landy to get through finally. Power was off across the whole area and the snow was sticky and shut all the mobile antennas down. Landlines to were down. Some villages were shut off for at least 5 days and the RNLI had to rescue people from outlying bays and get them to Portpatrick. We were lucky. We had a rayburn and plenty of wood. My parents rayburn got blocked with snow and the fire decided to visit the kitchen. They did get it out with help from there friend John their neighbour. i thought they would be ok and hadnt got to them for a couple of days. What a sight they were all covered in soot, hair standing on end. A massive hunt went on for sheep trapped in snowbanks and most were found alive and had lambed .It being the end of march when we got all this. H

wow what a day all excitement and rain and people about. LAL is not in yet but they were moving another boat into the water and thought while the crane was going they would get us ready. We didn,t get much warning.Spent the morning getting all the stuff that could fly down on the floor. We were then told  at about midday it would be another boat shifted and then us. so we put the kettle on and settled down to lunch. Mark went to do something i was sitting going through facebook. Then a strap appears at the window and a set of lower legs i didn't recognise.I heard Mark saying can i get the cats out first. That was it out the hatch i went , yip we were going to be on the move quicker than we thought. . Tom and Patch had been worked up all morning and were not happy about leaving the boat. There had been a lot of clanging and banging when they moved Constance earlier so they were worried.. Patch the little one all sweet and lovely turned in to a leaping somersaulti
