Wednesday After the very big day we had in Bath, which ended with going to bed around midnight, we got a more leisurely start to the next day. We didn’t have any urgency to get anywhere Wednesday morning. During the previous day’s breakfast, they’d had some black pudding out, and

Nick and Kathy visit, part 1 of 2
Spring was a season in which we had several visits, two from family and one from a friend. We had already had Lydia’s parents visit during Christmas, and now we would entertain visits from Nathan’s parents, Nathan’s brother and family, and our mutual friend Cornelia. It was wonderful to be
Life about Town
Because we are behind on this blog, in the sense that we’re still writing about things from several months back, I actually find myself here, just a few hours before the cab comes to take us to move home, even before we’ve had a chance to talk about family visits,

Paris
Our family’s biggest vacation this year was a week in London and Paris from February 9-16. It’s too big a story to put in one post, so it will be spread over a few. This is the first! Saturday – Getting the Dug Settled Since we were going to be
Celebrating Robert Burns
Well, here we are, nearing the end of June, with just under a month left to spend in Scotland. Time has flown! And we’ve been spending time living here rather than blogging about living here, which is a good thing. But we want to preserve more of our memories, so
