Hi Ali
Good blog addition and I am please to see some pictures of you. You appear to have lost weight (not a suprise) and are looking good. Glad to hear the rash is improving. Missing you. lol D

All is well at Cobbinshaw. Weather over the easter weekend was gorgeous and Pat and I have decided to grow some cut flowers! I think it may turn into a competition - how sad these rural folk are! Planting this years veg is well underway and the tractor only got stuck once. To early yet though for Dave to strip off and dive into the loch. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to everyone visiting in May. Love Lynda xxxxx

Hello Ali
Long time no speak - our fault. We have been to Guildford,and Braemar since our last message. At Guildford we repeated the well enjoyed outings -- vegetarian lunches at The Institute, coffee at M & S, walking Jess and Bramble, a visit to Wisley - all this as well as making soup for Robbie and Alison. We had a great time ! We are pleased to hear of your recovery from the deadly Veitnam rash - sometimes an insect bite can cause such an inflamation - Grandad had a similar attack when in Indonesia but made a miraculous recovery Fooled everyone - the wood for the funeral pyre had already been bought! Spring is here and soon I must force myself to get out into the garden to do some tidying up, grass cutting etc. We spent a few days at Shona's over last weekend - very lazy - just ate and watched the tennis. Andy Murray iis off to a good start this year and it is predicted he could well be numb
ber two in the world this year. There is still snow on the mountains around Braemar but insufficient for skiing. You will be having visitors soon. Keep working hard and enjoying yourself Love Gran and Grandad

Morning Mavor,

Still loving all the stories and photos. Happy Easter. Lynsey and I are off on a girls day out in southampton today. Definately not working in my Easter holiday. Im just looking at which law firms will hire me and fingers crossed pay for my law conversion course.

Miss you a little bit.

Not much of an Easter for you then-you poor thing! So pleased its getting better-you look after yourself. We really missed you on Sunday and you were in our thoughts big time. I made a disastrous mashed potato but everyone was very brave-it actually overflowed when I heated it up in the microwave but Robbie rescued it manfully. Claude & I have spent time painting outside-the upstairs windows over the we-hired a scaffolding tower-OMG-much laughter with the Mavors about harnesses etc.etc. We provided Easter entertainment for all neighbours especially when Claude dropped his coffee-who asks for coffee perched on a plank of wood? Love you Ali xxxxx Jen-Jen

I'm glad you actually went to the hospital and your rash is getting better :)

Hi Ali
Sory that it has been so long since last saying hello. I have been following all your posts closely however and enjoying the photos. What amazing experiences!
We are all on easter holidays now, James is home from uni and Adam is putting in some serious training for London marathon in 2 weeks.
Love from all of us x

Hi there ! Salt and vinegar crisps.... Only Brits can dream of salt and vinegar crisps in Vietnam ! They have never been my favourites ! All is well in London. Spring is in the air. Chris and I are off to Switzerland on Thursday for the Easter break. There is still plenty of snow to ski so we will be doing the last skiing of this unbelievable season. Chris is probably too busy to write but we do talk about you from time to time (so he is also thinking of you). Don't forget your umbrella and keep well. xxx
