Postcards from the Edge
Posted: Tuesday, 23 October 2007 |
Well, got back from our little holiday in Harris at the weekend and thought I would share a couple of the stunning views with you!
The purpose of our holiday was to show Lauren (Darling Daughter: age 10), Harris (Darling Son: nearly 2) and Granny (Darling Mum: age withheld) our new home, in Lewis.
Lauren can be hard to please so we were overjoyed when her reaction to the new house and it's sea view was "ohhh coool!"
Granny was less overjoyed, but hid it well, heard her mumbling something later about "rose-tinted specs". But, she loved Harris and Lewis and the fabulous views from our new home.
Little Harris didn't comment on the house but expertly pointed out the view of the "water" and "sheep".....!
And as for us? Well, the views just keep getting better and better...

Here I've been, prowling along every bookshelf in the house, looking for Winnie the Pooh, and finding everything but - Christopher Robin Verses, Wind in the Willows, Sylvie and Bruno, both Alices...so I can't remember what it was Pooh and Piglet were following, round and round and round, when the footprints got more and more and more, and they both got scareder and scareder...but that bottom photo is them looking for it, whatever it was.
Flying Cat from was it a woozle...
Looks much too windy for a Heffalump up there...
Mr. Heffalump from One Hundred Acre Wood
the heffalump?
mia from on the bookshelves
No, that was when Pooh fell into the Heffalump Trap and got his head stuck in the empty (of course) Hunny jar and piglet got an Awful Fright because he thought Pooh was a Heffalump. This was when P&P were walking around a copse in the snow...but thnaks for trying to put me out of my misery mia... It doesn't look too windy in your photos Happily, but winter is yet to arrive.
Flying Cat from you don't fool me Mr Heffalump
No not the Heffalump, that was when they laid the trap and Pooh fell in and got his head stuck in the empty Hunny jar and Piglet thought he was the Heffalump...this was when P&P were walking around and around the copse in the snow and the footprints got more and more and they got scareder and scareder...
Flying Cat from wishing I was wise like Wol
You were right - it was woozles, started off as one set of tracks and ended up with 4 till they decided it was braver to go home for luncheon (trust female staff to keep books for ever and a day)

oh almost forgot - there was a Wizzle as well....

A Wizzle??? Now that IS scary!
Flying Cat from feeling a bit wuzzled
Amazing photos, and amazing colours. Truly wonderful, thank you for sharing them.

Did darling dog and darling cat not go along? Give me a grumpy roadrunner any day. Viva El Correcaminos!!! Beats Don Quixote by a furlong and a tad more.

Don't have a Darling Dog or Darling Cat yet...we almost decided on a Newfoundland....have changed our minds again...it has to be a labrador for a family pet!
Happily Ever After from Back home in Ayshire
Beep! Beep!
Hyper-Borean from El camino
A black labrador would be ideal. Newfoundland would be high maintenance: of course, you could get a sheepshearer to give the hound a crew cut in summer. If you get one with parents certified to have good hips etc., newfies are fun (we had one when we were young and even more foolish than now), but they drool and drool....

A lab is a very sensible choice, apart from it being a d.o.g. and not a cat...and IMAGINE the food bills for a Newfie!

What Pooh and Piglet were following was (were?) their won tracks, methinks? It was summertime when they looked (cautiously) for Small. From this perspective, labradors reign! Go for her/him
Barney from Swithiod land of the dog
Oh. I thought it was snowing...maybe it was mudding instead...a typical British summer.
Flying Cat from bamwoozzled
it was their own tracks in the snow - Christopher Robin was in a tree watching them, piglet went home as he had something very important to do that could only be done between the hours of 12 and 12.05, pooh spoke to CR and then had to think as carefully and as hard as he could to realise it was their own tracks (guess who's been reading up...?)
mia from on the storage stacks
Thank you for clearing the puzzle up Mia!
Happily Ever After from should be making the dinner now
FC, P & P were following their won track in the snow (=Winter). Small was a summer job. Why does my PC spell "own" as "won". Has it a Mancunian upbringing?
Barney from remembering a misspent childhood
