Well another festive season is over & again I'm well behind schedule with letters & seasonal good wishes to family & friends... so here goes & sorry.
Since my last post in the summer of 2014 - we are still (luckily) all in 'the pink'.
The Hutcheson family cousins often rendez-vous in a certain Cumbrian Hostelry!
Guess who is who!
In the autumn Colin & I enjoyed two visits to Edinburgh, catching up with old friends

| The Kirkcaldy Anaesthetic Team (c. 1985/6) + 1 |
We also enjoyed a train trip along the scenic Carlisle-Settle Line to see Jamie in Leeds. The National Armoury is superb - a place to bring Alex & Lucy when next over from Montana!
 |
| Defence strategy meeting perhaps? |
Nicky graduated in December & is settling into her first Staff Nurse posting at the Great Northern Children's Hospital in Newcastle & is also enjoying her new flat...

| 'Beau' Rob, Nicky & 'Oldies' |
Colin turned 60 in December, two days after his mum, Bettie's 90th - so we had much fun with all the family in Belfast & Dublin

All the livestock are thriving. We now have 13 'First Ladies' (hens) & Roosevelt continues to keep order. I still have Orla ( fingers crossed a loving new rider/owner will appear this year) & the Schnauzers are still in command...

So here's to health & happiness everyone for 2015 & a final thought...
