Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, Nieces, Cousins

The gales having been blowing all day and night again, but it's been a dry day and really cold.

A day off work, and slept well this morning.  I headed out walkies with Sammy around Scalloway this morning, and managed to get clothes out on the line too.  I headed down to mam's after lunch.  It's been a fairly lazy evening at home.  I have managed to get out with Sammy again, but back home and feet up by the fire. 

Family are returning home, as it's mam's 60th birthday this weekend, but the windy weather is making things harder, and some not going to make it.  This afternoon we all had a good catchup over a cuppa.  Mam's sister Carol arrived from Australia a few days ago, and her sister Sylvia arrived with Laura this afternoon.  L-R - Mam Pat, aunt Sylvia (Ravenshear), cousin Laura, sister Laura, niece Elise and aunt Carol (Jackson). Mam's brother Michael can't make it now due to weather, but sister Joan will also come tomorrow from Scalloway.  Taken at mam's, Aith, Cunningsburgh.
