There's just too much catching up to do! So this random series of thoughts and pictures will have to do for now...
We're just back from a lovely holiday in Belgium, visiting Jude.

here we are in a park... It looks like autumn, but it was more springy. Another day we even picnicked...

Unfortunately when we got back to Glasgow, a lump of metal fell of the car and we had to abandon it and head home by train, a bit of a stress and a dampener on our holiday, but hopefully the car will be fixed in a few days and we'll be back to normal.
More winter pics:

More soon. Chris
