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!

Goodnight...sleep tight Mr P!

This is a difficult post to write...hence it's a day late.

Yesterday, Tuesday 18th June, my big beautiful boy...Plunkett...lost his very short battle with cancer. He was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and yesterday I made the heartbreaking decision to end his suffering.

I bought Plunkett for £40 in Newcastle almost 14 years ago. I was 17 years old and he was no more than 6 weeks. He was my first pet...and my sole companion when I left home.

We shared many happy times...and I will never forget those memories we made together.

He really was a special boy and I will miss him more than words can express.

May your soul travel well Plunkett...thank you for loving me and being part of my life for so long. I will have a Plunkett shaped hole in my heart forever more.  Run free with your sister now... I'm sure she was waiting there for you.

Love you...and miss you already.
