We enjoy having visitors and no more so when former students of Iain's turn up. What started out to be a Sunday dinner this week with one gentleman from Syria joining us ended up being a table full of folk from all the airts and pairts.
We enjoyed seeing Nabil again and hearing about his life in Aleppo. He now has a grown up family. It was good to talk about his time in Glasgow 30 years ago.
John and Debbie from Calgary are visiting Scotland just now so it was good to have them join everyone for dinner. John has taken many photos of us or our family over the years. (More of this in future posts.) Here is one he took on Sunday. I have just been pulled out of the kitchen so am appearing a bit florid!
John took this photo of Mairi and the gang. Over the years John and Debbie have often hosted us, or Mairi, when we pass through Calgary. (Ellie, 2; Ishie, 10; Me, Harriet, 4; Mairi; Alastair, 8.
Rogue's Gallery Update:
Ishbel and Alastair come to us early every Tuesday before school. We are now into a routine: Ishbel cooks bacon, Alastair times the boiled eggs ... Yes, Typical Boy... here is he timing the eggs!
This is Ishbel's last year in primary school. She starts secondary school next year. As Alastair goes into his last year at the primary school Harriet will start.
Ellie, otherwise known as Miss Personality Plus.
Harriet. John took this photo ... if you can catch her when she is not looking at the camera she is a great subject. A natural beauty!
This is Indy (6) about a week ago on a California beach. He has started school and Alastair (to whom we speak on Skype every week) says he has a very good teacher; he is coming on well! They now live in Los Angeles.
