Glad to meet you!  I've recently retired from work due to ill health and have found that I enjoy writing poetry for children, limericks and chatting to friends on the net.  I've also just started cross stitching and although I seem to spend more time un-crossing stitches than crossing them, I do get a feeling of accomplishment when I eventually finish one!
My husband, Charlie, works in a local sawmill making boxes to hold potatoes - in the local parlance - "tattie- boxes"!
I have two sons, Chris and Graeme.
Chris, aged 28, works in London for an Australian oil company, and Graeme, aged 18,  is going to Glasgow University to study Computing Science.
We have two West Highland Terriers, Callum and Kirsty, who are brother and sister and are always up to something!  Usually destructive!

We live in the village of Duffus, which is situated near the Moray Firth Coast in North East Scotland.
It is five miles from Elgin, the main town of Moray District, forty miles from Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, and seventy miles from Aberdeen, the centre for North Sea Oil.
Within a few miles of Duffus, there are the coastal towns with harbours for fishing fleets and pleasure craft.  A little further, are the Grampian mountains and still further, the beautiful and dramatic scenery of the rugged West Coast.
We enjoy driving in the surrounding countryside, and I hope that you will look at some of my photographs of our country.
