Hello, and welcome to our blog. We are a comitted couple living in West Lothian with our seven furry (& thirteen feathered) babies - don't worry, we don't have kids with Hirsutism - they are dogs, cats, chickens and a parrot!! We consider ourselves to be happy-go-lucky individuals, who most definitely believe in living life to the full whilst attempting not to hurt people along the way! We enjoy the company of warm, fun people - a sense of humour is absolutely essential to 'get' us (plain silly to pure sarcasm). We don't 'gel' well with people who can suck the life out a duracell battery.

Our hobbies are vast and varied...We should spend a lot of time renovating our 100 year old cottage, but we much prefer browsing for hours in book shops, people watching, coffee shops, cinema, shopping, walking by the beach or being lost for hours in the country, cuddling in bed, watching DVDs when we really should be out cutting the grass!, cooking, eating out in quaint little restaurants that serve food so yummy you want to do a little dance at the table, playing Sudoka (and spending way too much money on those rip off little puzzle books!), debating (for hours on end) with each other (or anyone who'll listen) over the downfall of society, etc...and how everything was much better in 'our day', telling each other the same stories over and over again...and still expecting the laughs/knods like it's the first time we've ever heard them, Scrabble, spending money we don't have on things we don't need, xwords/arrow words, Eggheads (any quiz programme really), gardening - in an attempt to become as self sufficient as possible, spending hours upon hours sitting watching our beautiful girls doing what chickens do, reading/posting on various forums (addictive, isn't it?). Oh..and saving for our Civil Ceremony, planned for 2012.

This blog is about all of the above, and more. We hope you'll at least enjoy some of it - thanks for taking the time to visit!

Family Day...

Yesterday was my Great Gran's funeral - what started off as a sad day ended wonderfully. After the funeral Liz & I went back to my Grans house for our visit! Papa was looking good, despite being tired and breathless....my Gran was in great form, despite the funeral.

I have decided that I want to take up knitting, so my Gran happily obliged by showing me all the essentials. We ended up knitting for three hours!! I think she's forgotten how much she enjoyed knitting - needless to say she's heading out to buy herself some needles and wool!

My first successful piece of knitting....but what will it become??

My second successful piece of knitting - plain & purl this time!

My Gran getting in to a knitting frenzy!! I had to fight her to get the needles back.

My Papa & I.

My Gran with Liz...being silly, as usual!!

Liz watching my Papa being stupid...lol.

We then went to spend some time with my parents. My Mum, as usual, made us a lovely dinner...I had haggis, neaps & tatties, with gravy...and Liz enjoyed Steak pie, neaps & tatties. Good, traditional YUMMY food! The rest of the evening (until midnight) was spent looking at old photos and school report cards, etc...before we become engrossed in challenging each other on the nintendo DS!!

Let the games begin.

Photobucket
All is well....so far...

Photobucket
Mum, still calm.

Photobucket
It's getting tense now!

Photobucket
So the novelty is wearing off now - my Mum is losing...can you tell?

Photobucket
Champion!
