What we brought to remember Claudette.
No singing this time, but I did try to talk as if I was talking to her.
I cried in the end.
I told her about the frog in the well, and how I'd brought the frog for her, but was in fact taking it home again. Same with the purse.
I just hated the idea of something genuinely special either being taken away by someone with no understanding of its meaning, or rotting away.
I bought the purse for her you see, before she died.

So originally she had the jade frog, chocolate coins, real Chinese coins, a lucky purse, tulips and a bottle of Bacardi.
We left a tulip, both types of coin and the Bacardi we poured and then each had a sip of.
Limey took the remainder of the tulips home, the same as the daffodils last year. It's a cliché to say it's what Brianna would have wanted, but she would. She was an enjoy it while you got it person.

Loving those boots btw.

lumberjim · 01-13-2014, 02:22 PM

I really like that shot of the three stones. Well done.

Bloke · 01-14-2014, 02:31 PM

Cold winds.
Warm thoughts.

Nifty.

Big Sarge · 01-14-2014, 04:12 PM

Wonderful photos. It looks like it was a great trip

DanaC · 01-15-2014, 05:25 AM

Really love those standing stones.

One day, oh one day, I will try and get to Arran.

Sundae · 01-15-2014, 08:16 AM

This set of stones had one that came with it's own natural step.
I think Limey was disappoint.

Sundae · 01-15-2014, 08:18 AM

Oh yes, here is Limey being disappoint!
And an out-take of me just to even things up.

Sundae · 01-15-2014, 08:21 AM

1) Looking away from the Moor to the Kintyre Peninsula.
2) And green and sheeps; view from the carpark looking back.

Sundae · 01-15-2014, 08:29 AM

More lovely things from Limey's house, this time the sea-themed bathroom.

Sundae · 01-15-2014, 08:31 AM

A fine piece of scrimshaw.
And if you don't know what that is you've obviously not tried to stave off the end of a weekend my eating cake and watching the Antiques Roadshow. Shame on you.

We picked Mr Limey up in Blackwaterfoot on the way home.
I hoped for a repeat cup of tea in the hotel there, as it was the first place I visited last Spring, but it was closed.
Lazy Scots

Instead, when we came back I decided to get busy. Limey had noticed that the recent blowy weather had left her garden strewn with twigs, which when collected made excellent free kindling. As I was going to be home alone that night with the fire all to myself, it seemed reasonable to contribute to it in some way. Of course they work better once they've had a chance to dry out, but twigs is twigs.

1) Cyd-Sox going sailing.

2) The collected kindling, my bedding and Cyd's cat palace.

Nice kindling.

I'm really enjoying this thread. You're doing a great job as always, Sundae.
