Hi, Shonah and Rich,

Great to hear from you on the phone yesterday. Pleased that you have had a good time.

Yes will be buying the eggs at Thorntons this weekend and then the feasting can begin just in time for our hols in Colonsay. Will save you one.

Have been buisy as was working at the weekend and on good friday went through to see grandad. He decided to have the sliding wardrobes removed to make room for his furniture. The tank cupboard is also removed. This will make the room bigger and best to do it now before the decorating of that room.

Andrea is fine and is talking of geting the phone in - that would be good. Have just brought the old baby clothes out of grandads loft, so it will be interesting to go through them.

The gardening is all done, Dave is pointing the house exterior and there is talk of sheep. Yes we may go in for a small flock of hebredeans as I am still getting pangs of sheperding as we now have Tom's usual hefted sheep & new lambs in the paddock.

Have finally got new taps in the kitchen - 'posh taps' cost a fortune. It is a new chrome mixer and was over £200.00 can you believe it. Never mind will enjoy showing it off to Alison.

Aga is cured finally. Dave was working on this project when you rang. He has suceeded in ducting a ducting pipe in the hood of the fireplace above the Aga to a nearby outside arrow hole which was originally to take a fan. This seems to have cured the loss of heat from the kitchen when it is windy.

Anyway enough of our ramblings. Massage sounds horrible. Theres no way they'd get their hands on my muscles. Amazing that Rich recovered.

Funnily enough Your Aunty Daryl was just asking that morning if you were goint to Katmandu and lo and behold you ring to say you are off to visit Katmandu. She is going to have a look on this site to find you.

Must dash off to Stanhope to see the doc about my foot, or whatever it is as it sometimes feels tired. Love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sho you are making me feel really unfit reading about all the walking you are doing! But keep it up girl!

I went out to Donnies on friday night! Its been a while but was funny as ever! As soon as i walked in i saw our big fat bouncer friend John! He straight away said where is shonah! It was strange him not saying to me as he always used to "Ali get shonah some water will you" hehe!

Anyhow its been way to long since me u n Ro have done something fun together so lets make sure it happens after you travels, we can sit round and listen to your many amazing tales i am sure!

Take care, lots of love
