On the way from Port William ...

We had a lovely (but brief) time with my Auntie Betty in Port William. Full of entertainment and richness of the time-quality kind. On the way back the sun was setting (sometime around 4pm!) and it was also lovely.

New Year 2010 ...

New Year 2010 began in Swansea, Wales. And Hogmanay 2009 ended with my first murder mystery party. Han had gotten us all ready to dress up (and Jen is the dress up queen!) and much fun and entertainment was had. Unfortunately I was the murderer and for some reason noone guessed it was me!

The girls ... and I'm still not sure about my hippy headband! 1920s slappers (flappers?) meet the 1940s dress up for the game!!

The boys looking very sophisticated!!

The Wee Hurry ... (almost)

There's a very recommended little place in the back end of Troon called the wee hurry ... where you can get a fish supper for a pound 40p! On the coldest day of the year (it felt like) we ventured to the wee hurry and ran through the Troon harbour to find that it was closed for renovations (or Christmas holidays?). A couple of pictures from Troon ... lovely ... and Brian and Karen laughing at the cold ...

The festive dinners ...

An array of people over the Christmas period ... always a dinner waiting!

Christmas Eve with Rod and Smithy.

Boxing Day with Cara and Mark.

28th with Dan and Samantha.

Christmas Day Walk ...

Christmas morning was just the perfect time to go for a walk in the snow! We followed the Mathew route from Cumnock to beyond and even headed some large blocks of snow (silly person).
