Welcome Back soop

PS...although the sun is shining brightly, there are flurries of snowflakes drifting past the window. Every so often, we hear a low rumble, as heaps of snow slide off the roof and fall with a thud on the ground.

The local farmer; an elderly man, has worked tirelessly to take fodder to the sheep in the glen. I wonder how the newborn lambs are coping. He has a barn for the "orphans". I helped to bottle feed some of them, some time ago.

Oh Soop! good to hear from you. I hope you can now keep warm!

Good to have you back, soop!

Missed you too - and Rory and Mr S. Welcome back all of you. ((((big hugs))))

I cannot tell you how much I've missed my GN pals. Logging on this morning, gave me happy goose-bumps.
Yet another bag of chopped logs and kindling has been brought to our door. When I tried to offer payment, our friend replied...'Not on your nellie...' in a broad, lilting Scots accent.

Lovely to see you again. You've been missed.

Roasty toasty jings ...

Hi soop! Hope you will soon thaw out. Good to know that you are 'back on' again.

Good news for Soop, phew!

Thank goodness

Good news!

soop has power! YAY!

Well, her underfloor heating relies on electricity. I don't know if it runs on oil, but it will need an electric pump even so. If she didn't have a fireplace, she'd be really stuck for warmth. A fireplace (we've installed a stove) was my first requirement when DH was looking for a house for us up here (I was still in Oxon). Second requirement: a primary school within walking distance.

We had our first power cut when we'd only been here three months and I've lost count of how many since. A fireplace is essential back'o'beyond.

We used to live in a hamlet about 9 miles out of town, and in February 1980 we were cut off by snow for 2 days. Our coal had just about run out because it was time for the coalman to deliver, so we searched the house and backyard for things to burn. We got rid of a lot of old shoes, and cleared an awful lot of twigs and other bits from the yard. When we finally got out, we got to the main road into town, and it was single lane traffic with passing places cut into the snow walls, which must have been 15 to 20 feet high. Never seen snow like it before or since.
I`m glad the roads at least are open in Kintyre, hopefully they`ll have power back on soon. Glad Soop`s not reliant upon electricity for heating.

Sorry but I have spent the whole day looking back on my posts and have slapped myself a few times as I obviously cant spell or use the correct grammer
