  1. A Christmas Story !   The Invisible Woman                                            
  2. Panda, what a gorgeous photo, son &  pup both absolutely adorable, that was such a heart warming scene [:)]   Jinty
  3. Raindog, loved your photo, the setting was sooooooo peaceful.  PPS, loved your painting, very impressive, your choice of colours was absolutely delightful. Pads, I make my own Christmas Cakes too, mine are recovering from a hangover as we speak !!!  (OK, write) [:)]  made them in September, always make one for my daughter too.  Yours looks lovely. I actually am not very fond of Christmas cake, but love making them, OH and son in law demand extra marzipan, so OK, I spoil them, almost 1 inch thick with marzipan every year, costs me a fortune, but they are worth it.  [:D] Jinty
  4. Morning Chris Will try and find that out for you, Winter is here already, finished work at 0800 this morning, blowing Severe Gale Force 9 last night, could hardly hear myself think for the noise, thought the roof of the building was going to lift off  [:'(],   very busy night, made the time disappear though [:)] Jinty  
  5. Chris, the fantasy pole is amazing, [:-))] I am not sure what type of tree it is, nor who does the carving, but can find out, I do know he stays here on the Island, he does a great job, very clever with the chainsaw. [:)]   Jinty
  6. Geordie Girl It worked very well !!   Beautiful photo, gorgeous view, it just rolls away, lucky you [:D]
  7. Hey Chris,   we have this one in the Castle Grounds here in Stornoway, not too shabby,  eh !!   [8-|] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Totem.jpg[/IMG]   Jinty  
  8. Thank you so much, it is a lovely Island to stay on, even when the wind is blowing horizontally in a Gale Force 8,   such fun trying to stand up, work can be interesting when that happens.  OH laughs when I suddenly take off (mind you, he is very quick to come and help),  but finds it so funny, problem is I am only little so find it hard to stay upright.   Nope, nothing to do with the wine!!  [;-)] Snowing outside now!
  9. Thanks NBD, there will be in 4 years when I retire full time to France  [:D]  [:D]  Can't wait.  
  10. Wow, some beautiful photo's, I took this from the window in my workplace last night, it was lovely, (almost worth being at work) !! [;-)] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Sunsetwork.jpg[/IMG]    
  11. Thanks for all your lovely comments, here is a photo of Lews Castle, taken whilst on a walk round the castle grounds in summer, I like to look at it now and again just to remind myself that the sun does shine sometimes, here in Stornoway  [:P] [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Castle.jpg[/IMG]   Jinty  
  12. [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/DSCN7205.jpg[/IMG] Leaving Ullapool on the Isle of Lewis ferry to get home from a weekend in Inverness with my daughter, had a fantastic time.  [:D]
