Magic Moments

Sister & Brother Magic Moments

Magic Moments is the 1st song I sang as a child. It has become a song that has worked its way down the family and was even played at my mums funeral as she had sung it to her grandchildren and great grandaughter.

Anyway tonight I was looking at some photos Ashley had emailed me of the Aimee & Murray and I just thought what Magic Moments these are and I now can't get the song out of my head so it is now being hummed, sung and whistled much to the annoyance of the local cats chorus.

Moving on up

I love houses

Hubbie loves renovation

We down-sized a few years ago so Colin could go to college and university he graduates next month as a teacher of further education. I love the house we live in at the moment but Colin has never settled. Now because this man I have been married to for all these years has never asked me to do anything that he thought would make me unhappy also over the past 18 months or so our lives have changed forever and as my wee grannie used to say marriage is about compromise we are on the move.

We are lovers of traditional property but we have decided that it is time for an easier life and not for every spare bit of cash we have being used to maintain a property. We are buying a more modern house and for some strange reason I love it.

The most exciting bit about it for Aimee is that the house will have stairs.

So in 6 weeks time we will be embarking on the next phase of our lives......... bring it on

Pearly Time

Where does the time go..........

30 years ago today I married the man or should I say boy who would become as they say in the old movies my rock.

Colin was 19 and I was 23 when we married everyone was very sceptical about us making a go of a marriage.

Colin and I went about in the same circle and he played badminton with a friend. A couple that we both knew were getting married and he asked if rather that going on our own that we paired up. The following day I headed off to London for a week to attend a course to do with my work. On my return he was standing waiting on me as I got off the bus big bunch of flowers in his hand and asked me to out that night for a meal. That night he asked me to marry him and as the saying goes the rest is history.....

2 daughters and 2 grandchildren later we celebrate our Pearl Wedding Anniversary

Had a lovely meal with daughter(number 2) son-in-law and grandchildren last night.

Today has been a lazy day ... so far reading and couching
