My apologies for not been around, but I will catch up with you all as soon as I can. We took a little trip away to celebrate with our youngest daughter. She has successfully completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and starts her new career as a teacher in September. She has worked hard to realise her dream and it was indeed an honour to watch the graduation ceremony and be part of the celebrations. I was one proud Mama and a little snap happy with the camera. Sadly, I then left the camera behind but I will share some of the photos at a later date. The weather whilst away was amazing so the drive was a delight taking in some amazing scenery. Again, I managed to capture some beautiful photographs enhanced by the sunshine. It was a joy to catch up with Lily and Daisy, they are growing up so quickly and behaved impeccably at the Graduation Ceremony. We arrived back on our little Island Paradise last night, it was wonderful to be returning back to our little cottage we now call home.
These are photos taken at Stornoway, whilst once again getting back into the routine of rehabilitation and a supermarket shop. Rehabilitation for Gerard has been extended, a change in drugs regime and then another week wearing the heart monitor to establish if the drugs have helped. We are ever hopeful but take things in our stride. Sadly we didn't bring the good weather back with us, we have had some much needed rain and the temperatures have dropped considerably. The laundry can wait for another day...
England (the football) is calling so I will catch up with you as soon as I can.
See you soon.
We are desperate for rain too. We need lots of rain overnight and back to sunshine in the daytime. Congratulations to your daughter x
ReplyDeleteAt least you didn't lose your camera, only left it behind at your daughter's. Congrats to her; you must be so happy and proud of her.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that your daughter has completed her goal and can now enjoy the benefits of pursuing her education. Bill and I got a second degree by going back to college at 47 and 50. You're never too old!
ReplyDeleteVery well done to your Daughter Congratulations and Good Luck in her new career.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes to Gerard I hope the new medication will be of help.
It's always good to be home.
Take Care x
Huge Congratulations to your Daughter...clever girl.
ReplyDeleteI hope they can soon get Gerard on an even keel.
Hugs-x-
How wonderful. Congratulations to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you daughter to reach her goal. I know you and Gerard are proud of her accomplishments! I'm glad you both enjoyed the trip. Wishing you and your husband good health in the days ahead. ♥
ReplyDelete*C*O*N*G*R*A*T*U*L*A*T*I*O*N*S*!* to your daughter! Can she check to see if someone turned in your camera? Love your harbor photos. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful trip for you to see your daughter graduate. Congratulations to her. Not an easy feat with a small family to take care of while going to school. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI’m praying the change in medication will be just the thing to make your Gerard feel much better. I well know how that goes. The smallest tweak can make huge changes. One thing I learned was to NOT take my multivitamin when I take one of my heart medicines. It would make me very light headed and dizzy. If I space them even just one half hour apart there is no problem! Who would have thought such a small thing would matter?
Much love to you both and I’ll look forward to seeing your pictures when you get them.
Blessings,
Betsy
Sounds like a lovely trip and you must both be very proud of your daughter's achievement. How wonderful to have much needed rain we've had none here for ages:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! A worthwhile trip to join and celebration as a family! We are now having a mixture of sun and rain.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! I hope she enjoys her teaching experience when she starts her career in September. I usually think of you up in the Outer Hebrides when the weather forecast is shown on television. I hope your husband's treatment and rehabilitation continues to go well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your daughter. I'm sure it was a proud moment for you. Prayers for Gerard.

Congratulations to your daughter, what a wonderful thing to celebrate. When my daughter gained her PGCE there was no graduation ceremony and we all felt cheated. No matter how lovely it is to be away celebrating, I always think it's lovely to come home. I hope Gerard's treatment and rehab proves beneficial. x
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful - well done to your daughter! Fun to have a little trip away to enjoy her graduation ceremony, too - though it is always lovely to return to the island. Beautiful Stornoway harbour photographs. Best of luck to your husband.
ReplyDelete(I should say "Snap!" our youngest has just completed his PGCE, too.)
Congratulations to your daughter! The world needs good teachers, that's for sure. We just got home from a trip, too, and I'm catching up on laundry and reading blogs. Far behind on both!
ReplyDeleteYou can be proud of your daughter ! Your pictures are beautiful, what a nice landscape ! I hope that the new medication will help ! We are still waiting for rain (except me, I like warm weather and sunshine !)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter. May she have a long and successful career and inspire many young people along the way.
