So stuff has been happening.
My mom arrived from South Africa on Monday morning, so Brian took the day off in order to pick her up from the airport. We took her for a wee ramble down to St Brigid's Kirk, which she was utterly in love with. She's amazed by the peace of Scotland, by the lack of fear and noise and crime.

Originally published at CAT HELLISEN. You can comment here or there.
I”ve been waiting and waiting for summer to start, and then I realised longest day had come and gone and this was it.
