Christine's Retirement

It was a lovely sunny morning to start the day.  The wind picked up a bit by the afternoon, but it's been dry all day, until a few showers tonight. 

A morning puttering about the house, and neighbour Mark popped over to help get the boiler working again.  I nipped down to mam's after lunch, fed the cat, then me and Sammy enjoyed a long walk around Cunningsburgh.  More walkies in the afternoon, and then off out tonight for our staff Christmas doo.

It's not only our annual Christmas party, but also time to say cheerio to Christine, who is happily retiring this week.  She's worked in the museum service for 20 years, and will be a big miss.  As for the rest of us, we'll have to wait and see what 2018 brings.  It's been a lovely meal and night.  L-R clockwise - Linda Nicholson, Christine Manson, Ailish Parham, Caitlin Leaper, Trevor Jamieson, Barbara Anderson, Cathy Hallett, Anne Sutherland, Linda Fox and Sandra MacArthur.  Taken at Mackenzie's Farm Shop, Cunningsburgh.
