Good morning all from a damp Glasgow. Thanks Beechnut for opening up.
I've been up for hours and there is a gingerbread and sultana cake just ready to come out of the oven, in anticipation of the usual, hungry, weekend visitors! 
After four days of looking after DGD, (I'm too old for this, but exceptional circumstances), I'm off out for a spot of retail therapy. I deserve it, but certainly don't need it!!!
How long I will last, is another question, I'm pretty tired.
Kate, your cottage sounds lovely and Mick, I hope you are enjoting your trip. Maw, safe journey.
Have a good day, whatever you are doing!
