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 sunshine 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 grin

The Simon Bolivar/Big Noise Concert at Raploch, Stirling, in torrential rain but a wonderful, unforgettable experience. smile

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 - grin

Nellie very cute. I must put some photos up of littlest GD 13 months. She is funny and laughs a lot and besides being a Dad's girl is very much a Grandma's girl. When the fridge door is opened she rushes over and sits on the inside ledge, we are not sure why.

anno just getting my laptop out of the garden, where I threw it in my frustration!! grin I got over-confident when I managed to upload the pictures, put another one on of my eldest grandson and the whole thing crashed! I'll try and get them back on shortly x

I imagine your garden is about as wet as mine, when. I am having a bit of trouble trying to upload, but have resisted the temptation to give the laptop a shower. grin

anno got the photos back on, but every time I try to upload a third picture, it goes daft. Grrrr! grin
