So much for being a better blogger these past few weeks. I just don't have much to blog about right now. We've been on the road up in Scotland for the past 10 days, and Internet access is occasional at best. I'm putting up this entry from a friend's house in Aberdeen.
We've been enjoying a visit with many friends and relatives - people we haven't seen for years (since our wedding in some cases). We've had some exceptional meals and most of all have been enjoying the conversation as we catch up and introduce people to our expanded family.
Dodging the landslides and flooding, we've had stops in Harrogate, Edinburgh and Dundee, now Aberdeen and from tomorrow we'll be up in Caithness, about 4-1/2 hours up to the northwest from here (about as far up as you can go on the British mainland). We'll be spending a week in a cottage up there. Finally a chance to unwind a bit and do some reading, and maybe catch up with a few entries.
Until then...
