An Apology and an Update

First off, I feel an apology is in order! 

I haven't put a post up in over a week. That is the longest I've been away from my blog since I started!!!!  

Not only that but I haven't visited any of you in all that time either. So - I'm sorry.  

So I thought I'd do an update on my week (and a bit!!!).

Last weekend (or maybe the one before), Danny and I went for a long walk.  It was a lovely day - and we aren't getting many of these nowadays. 

 It was a great walk and we really felt the benefit of it.

We walked through the woods and we saw this field full of geese - you wouldn't believe the noise they made. 

You could really hear them before you saw them :) 

I took some pictures but I'm afraid they aren't very good, I only had my wee point and shoot and it was at full zoom.

We also had a birthday last week. 

My wee girl Emma just turned 18!!! 

Can you believe that - how did she ever get to be that age so quickly? 

 She has had so many nights out she has hardly been home.  

We had planned on going out for dinner last Saturday to celebrate as Laura and Kevin were coming through, but Laura text me on the Thursday to say they had really heavy snow so didn't want to chance driving through. I'm really glad they were sensible and didn't take any chances.   

 S0 they are coming through this Friday and staying over through to Saturday so we are going out this weekend instead.  It will be nice to have all my girls together again. :))

Emma is also studying German at university at the moment - she wanted to do Spanish but the classes were full so she chose German instead. 

 I'd love to learn a 2nd language - maybe I should get her to teach me too!

Well, that's me more or less up to date - I'll be along to visit you all this evening.
