Here I am in Edinburg still blogging about my trip last year. Never expected to be doing this!
Last night Bobby & I attended a caileigh. (a Scottish country dance event). It was hard to describe the exhilarating fun of it. Obviously, this was a tourist event, because most of the people in attendance were tourist like we were and it cost 7 lbs.
A guy with a head mic took us through the steps which were basic and easy to pick up. Bobby and I danced 3 dances. When you messed up (and everyone did) you just laughed and kept on dancing.
There was a kind lady who agreed to video Bob and I. If you click on the link, another link will pop up. You should be able to click on that link and watch the video.
It was a lazy rainy day on the Isle of Arran. We were tucked into our cozy little cottage, enjoying the ambience of the comforting fireplace. But rain in Scotland is unlike the rain we experience in the States. Accompanying rain in the States is usually thundering and lighting, but here in Scotland the dark clouds just simply let go of their rain without much ado. And the rain may only last for a short while, then people spill out of their dwellings and carry on with their adventures. And some may not be deterred by the rain at all.
The boys packed up and set off to town so Shep could play at the playground. This boy loves playgrounds. I caught up on my journaling and organized my suitcase and souvenirs and straightened up our cottage.
As Maridith was fixing lunch we noticed the rain had begun. It started after the boys returned and it's been a slow steady drizzle. I resisted the temptation to take a walk as the air was sumptuous; not really sure why I did that! Maridith's chili and potatoes was the perfect accent to this cool rainy afternoon.
Today was my granddaughter, Macey's birthday, so I was able to video chat with her. This is why I am so grateful for the technology that keeps me connected, no matter how far away I am, to my family.
