Hello Anne and Andy
I’m not sure if you are on Charmary at the present, taking her to Oban in readiness for her winter mooring. I’ll send and email to Anne’s address as well. What an experience it must have been going through the Crinan Canal. Slow going???? I notice in a number of your other photos that the skies look rather ominous and you are well and truly rugged up. It makes me feel cold looking at some of the waves and dark clouds above. Then again, the spinnaker is a beautiful mixture of bold, bright colours.
My computer is on its very last legs. So slow in fact that upon giving a command I can then put out some washing, unpack groceries etc etc before returning to the computer in the hope that it has in fact moved on with my request. The car has been consuming $$$$$$s recently so a new laptop is next on the list.
I have two piles of clothes in my bedroom, one winter, one summer, to cope with our ever changing day temps. Now I’m back in socks and cardigan in lieu of shorts and t-shirts.
Repotting plants and enjoying my olive tree, doubt it will ever bear fruit. My white jasmine is literally sprouting buds before my eyes, the pink one has finished flowering for the year. About to plant some white alyssum and parsley and may need to repot my Jennifer-Susan camellia which is not showing any progress.
I’m sorry Anne that I cannot assist you with your queries re relatives. Dene is the one I rely on for any information in that area.
Would you believe, your recent email has appeared below this one I am writing and I note that you are both at home and going north in November to sort out Charmary for the winter. Hmmmm, sorry about that, what a memory I now have.
Will have some lunch and then move over to your home emaill address. With love, Jen
