Christmas Dinner and another view of Lurkio Dyson

Christmas Day at Woodville

This was lurking by the bookcase.
It didn't frighten anybody!



I don't think anybody believed I could set the timer on my mobile!!!




Gabriel kept going back into the TV room to see the lights!

Happy Christmas from Innellan

Cake, candles and a tired boy!

Gabriel's birthday party at funworld!

A boy has to get sleaned up before seeing his public!

Wedding Day scenery.

Driving back into Innellan after the service - couldn't miss the snowt hills.

And just had to put in one from the garden taken in November because I liked it.

Not a bad day for a wedding tho!

Waiting for everyone to arrive for the wedding.

See Ruth?
See the main Usher - Sandy Proctor with his back to the camera and wearing sunglasses!
He's behind the lamp-post - pity you can't see him in full regalia!
He had to chauffeur the bride and groom!

Ben and Vicky's Wedding.

The church was packed - we were at the back alongside Adam Alice and Ivan.
McIanto has pictures of them (The Lewis Family) on his blog.
The sun shone all day.

George Square at night.

Interesting trying to get pictures in the dark!!!!

Today's view looking towards Kirn

I was out visiting Wendy's Mum and saw this view. It made me feel good.

Christmas in George Square

We were actually in Glasgow attending a concert - Rachmaninov's 3rd piano concerto - the pianist was a wonderful Argentinian musician - Nelson Goerner - best pianist I've ever heard, and I've heard a few in my day.

It was fun being in the Square and able to join in the Festive Spirit.

A jazz event with the Osbornes

I think Dad was remembering the Mac's stage band of bygone days?
The band consisted of 5 first year students out to make a bit of money.
Mathew's saxophone playing - when he used to play - would have knocked spots off their performance - but they did their best, and provided good entertainment.

View from the window

Went out to Toward and found the sun briefly but this is what it was like at home!

End November '08

Our outings to Benmore and along Shore Road continue - as you see, the garden has lost most of its striking colours ... and Satpin and his friend sit silently in the light of the moon. Figure out how I took that photo!
Can you see Dad in the distance behind Grandma - Golden Gates missing!
Only the pillars remain.

Visit to see Aunt Isobel 15/11/08

When we arrived, Aunt Isobel was enjoying a bourbon biscuit with her cup of tea.
As you see, the new place is quite modern - inside was fresh and tasteful.
I think it was the special cake that we took for her that got her mouth into a strange pose.
She was in good spirits in spite of things - like buzzers constantly going off!!

The Marina - Gabriel likes to explore

Grandma's own Benmore!

We called on Grandma today and she said - "You must look at the leaves on the ground" - so I did. Lovely.

Jim Crow

We walked along this bit of shore line today and wanted to show you Jim Crow with his new face-lift and the mist/fog that was today's weather feature along with blue skies and sunshine.

A good night up at Kirkwood!

We enjoyed pumpkin pudding!!!

Another day at Benmore

Yes it's that tree again - can't resist it. And what is the fruit do you think? As for the rhododendron, Do you like its highlights .... ????

A special concert - Ralph Vaughan Williams - and free!
