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!

Introducing...

Yesterday we experienced a wonderful moment of karma!

As you may know (if you've followed our blog, or my posts on The Grapevine) my Mum's little dog died in December...and as such we've been searching for a 'new addition' to her household. On Thursday we picked up her new baby boy, Jaco Pastorious Lawrence. That in itself was wonderful...but yesterday even topped that.

Jaco's breeder text us out the blue to offer us Jaco's brother...as a gift. It turns out that his new owner decided they didn't want him after the breeder found out he has a slight heart murmur. So, instead of trying to sell him again she decided she'd rather he went to a loving home with people who would understand the restrictions he MAY experience with his condition.

Soooo....last night we picked up a wonderful new little addition to our family...Davey (named after my Papa) the dog!
