The Best Laid Plans

Greetings from Aberdeen. We are going ice skating in half an hour. But don't let that fact make you think we haven't been doing the beach thing too. Emily's blue lips on exiting the North Sea after an extended body boarding session and my sunburnt nose can attest to the beach experience.

I would like to be able to say it has been nothing but fun and frolics since we departed southern regions, but unfortunately I can't. We arrived at my mum's Sunday and all was well. But that night my mum fell ill and by Monday she was hospitalised. She is home again now, but I brought the girls to Aberdeen earlier than planned to give peace, quiet and healing time.

Not sure where we will be when now. My mum is determined to be fighting fit for us to return. We shall see.

I can't access my emails despite my best attempts so apologies for lack of communication and replies to comments.

More later.

Susan

  2. Oh no Susan - sorry to hear about your mum. I hope she does recover quickly!

    Not surprised about blue lips off Aberdeen - had a head cold once went in swimming and the shock of the cold sea cleared my head - not a recommended cure though. Stay in the dunes out of the wind and get baked if the sun shines!

  7. I hope your Mum makes a speedy and uneventful recovery and that you can head back there soon.

    A sunburnt nose and blue lips don't really seem to go together!

  9. Oh your poor Mum and poor you. What a worry. Hope she recovers quickly and you get to spend a bit more time together x
    PS I remember a lot of blue lips + sunburn as a child. I think it's part of the Scottish summer-time look!
