Busy, busy, busy

Coming down to the wire here on the house move and not getting a lot of time to write, which is sad as I will be saying good bye to this blog when I leave here.  I did think about keeping this URL and just carrying on with the same WordPress theme – but nice as this one is, it has now been out of support for years, and every time I patch WordPress I am worried that it will break the whole thing.  So I will be starting afresh on www.castlebank.org – watch this space.

In the meantime, we are all up to our eyes in packing and everything looks as though a bomb has hit it.  It is hard to believe that when I came back to Scotland over thirty years ago, I had one backpack, and now I have a whole house full of stuff.  Even after giving away/recycling/scrapping loads of stuff, still it keeps on coming.  But we will doubtless get there.

The weather that was great for over a month, has now broken – the very day before the Lochgoilhead Gala day which was a bit of a pity.  The plants are pleased though.

Now all the ornaments are packed, Saphy has discovered the mantlepiece, and like everything else in the house she now has a packing label.
