Fading Lights of Summer ..........

Well Colin & I were musing last night (sitting beside our mini pond & idling with a glass or two of our favourite sauvignon blanc) after an 'all day' in the garden harvesting apples, gathering the last of our tomatoes and creating a new flower bed.

 We can't quite believe that our nest is empty now. Nicky went off to Newcastle mid September to start her Children's Nursing degree & Jamie returned to Stirling for his final year. He has a super new flat, ground & garden level in an old late Georgian terrace with a view over to the Wallace Monument. Needless to say we haven't heard much from him since! Nicky has been home twice but only briefly. Not unexpectedly she felt a bit homesick at first, especially as she was the only one in her Halls for the first week. We're looking forward to a rendez-vous in Edinburgh at the end of the month with Colin's sister, Lorna & family. In the meantime here are their pics:

Jamie's 21st in Las Vegas - where else???

Cousins who lunch (Robyn & Nicky - Spring 2011)

All of which is a far cry from these old days -
