Happy place sunset

Another beautiful week in our happy place has come to an end. 

It goes so fast. I am so thankful for memory filled photos.

Another beautiful week in our happy place has come to an end. 

It goes so fast. I am so thankful for memory filled photos. 

Right where we are.

This morning I was chatting to my sister about blogging and I miss this little space so much. I have been trying to work out what it is that is stopping me from updating more often and it is because our laptop is old and so slow it is painful, which makes it so difficult (and time consuming) to upload photos, the text is ok as I can do that on the iPad but pics are more difficult. However, when I started this blog there were no pictures for months and I still loved it so maybe I just need to get back to writing more. I miss it so. This blog has been our memory keeper for such a long time, what Christmas was it that I got that amazing gift?....... Let's check the blog! What year was it that we did x,y or z? I'm sure that's on the blog! Let's go look! One of KP's favourite things to do is look back through old posts and parties. The past two years on the blog are just sad and neglected! I must do better.

So, where are we? 

We are the same, we are happy, we are tired, we are lazy and messy and organised , we are working and together and all the things in between. We are just us, still turning that wheel.

This summer the weather has been awful!! We have had a few dry days sprinkled through but for the most part it has rained and been pretty cold.

We have made the most of every hour of sunshine though. 

We holidayed in our happy place again, definitely lots more pics of that to come, it was fun and sunny and rainy and cold and ......are you seeing a theme here? It's all a bit of a mixed bag , smiles and hormones flying around in equal measures but oh that view. All worth it.

I love that Fraser still likes to come on family holidays, my wee family is my everything so I am grateful to him for hanging around. 

Ever so proud of this guy! He stormed it with amazing exam results this year! This pic was taken on a wee family meal out to celebrate. Love them. 

This whole summer has zoomed by in a blur, in one week they go back to school and I can feel "the big sad"  is starting to creep in around the edges. 6th year and primary 5!!! Where is all this time going??  

2015 is more than half way over already. I wonder if I will be able to steal a few more minutes on the iPad again soon? Someone in this house is very attached to it... I guess once school starts it will be all mine again.....sob!! 

Don't be sad because it's over...

Smile because it happened.

I'm smiling baby!

Under the bridges 2014

For some people,  I siting the same place every year would be boring. 

But not for us, every time we visit we enjoy all the things we love and add a few more to that list. 

Last year we found a lovely walk along by the river, under our favourite bridges. 

This year we walked it again.

The scenery is simply stunning.

As you walk under the rail bridge the river just opens up and there is miles of simple beauty.

FYI it is impossible to get a panoramic pic with our little resident jack in the box. 

The castle ruins gave us the perfect spot to stop and enjoy the sunshine.

We also had ourselves a little photo shoot.

I so wish you could see how precarious the position of the camera was! 

We found a little hidden garden this time, it is in the process of being restored. 

We are looking forward to seeing how it turns out....

....

When we return next year....
