Happy New Week.
Clare: Got the date right this time !
I am so pleased for the scottish people that you remain the jewel in the crown.
To the people of Scotland may I remind you all, that you have the one of the most beautiful part of the world and no one can take that away from you.

How true Limpy - they call it "God's Country" :)
Limpy I moved here 13 years ago just for the beautiful country side and even take my holidays here....so well said:-)
Good morning: I just read that Alex Salmond is stepping down. One huge piece of news after another!
Alan: I'm not a fan of the current government and I really do appreciate the passion you feel for your side, but that might be easier to appreciate if perhaps you were just a little less descriptive in your opinions? :-)
Baking brownies; two batches, here - anyone want to stop buy in about 1 hour when they'll be great with coffee or tea?
Brownies with decaff coffee, please!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
I adore Scotland more than anywhere else in the world but I have to say I am glad we are all still together. I understand where the Scottish people are coming from but it would have had mega effects on the rest of the UK. It could have ignited the troubles over here again for example and really we have had enough. Hopefully, divisions in Scotland will peacefully be put aside and we can all together have a much better UK.
Valc: Great to see you and must agree re the Troubles, which I heard all about many times from my (sainted, of course!) Irish Mom. Frankly, I was wondering if a Yes vote would stir a couple of U.S. States to go for independence; specifically Texas, which routinely mutters about wanting to secede from the Union, in which case, I'd be looking for a Yes vote! :-))
OG: You're on! Second batch just out and both are cooling fragrantly and all too temptingly on the kitchen counter.
Lovely and cloudy here!
Annette ... Mmmmm black americano with an extra shot with my slice please:-)
Annette - Brownies! Yum, yum! Yes please with cafe latte and perhaps Amber could try any left over bits!
