Another driech, miserable, wet day here today so popped on to Gransnet and what do I find - more doom, gloom, bad news and health problems. So in an attempt to cheer us up I thought I would start a 'Review of the Year' thread to celebrate the highspots of the year past - only good things allowed (unless the bad ones are really funny with hindsight). Here goes with mine.
A brilliant sunny 
week with all 9 of us in a holiday cottage on Barra. Flew in a small plane and landed on shell beach, returned on ferry in a force 9 gale, which I loved 
The Simon Bolivar/Big Noise Concert at Raploch, Stirling, in torrential rain but a wonderful, unforgettable experience. 
Two DGC started primary school and youngest started nursery school. All so grown up, proud and smart in their school uniforms. Later 3 x magical nativity performances where they positively shone.
AND 3 x Gransnet Meet-ups - I cannot explain why these are such joyful occasions, can only say that I find myself grinning from ear to lug and can't stop. It is as if characters from a favourite book have come to life and you can chat with them and hug them - A M A Z I N G -
Marelli it's good to count your blessings, isn't it? Of course there are always things that aren't as one might wish but DS1 is doing well so that is a huge blessing.
PRINTMISS, Happy New Year (when it comes) to you too. 
Gally - just seen your comment. He he he! 
phoenix your posts have given me a lot of smiles this year (not all of them 
) so thank you for that and good luck in 2013 with the job hunting - still think you should do a blog or something. [fwine]
My highlight was my first grandchild. The little fellow is now three months old smiley and very vocal, all those lovely soft coos and excited happy squeals.
(I may think differently when he is older!)
He knows how to be really charming, but needs to learn to take his naps other than in his mums arms.
Jings...heck! Now you come to mention it...
In a year that really was dragged along the bottom of the 'pit', my only joy (but a huge one) has been my favourite baby.
She has kept me going and been the light of my life.
See her gorgeous grin on the latest pic on my profile
That's one cheeky grin ella no wonder she lights up your world
She is truly gorgeous, Ella!
...and here's hoping we can introduce her to the Wee Man...in the fullness of time!
