Saturday 13th. The Housewarming (Lennoxtown, Scotland)

Catriona's house warming party.  A lovely, busy day, full of delicious food, fun, family, friends, neighbours.  Lots of laughs.  So satisfying to see Catriona, Calum and Molly happy in their warm, cosy home.  It's a pretty little cottage, over a hundred years old, rich with character and history.  The Campsie Fells tower just to the north of it, massive crags and slopes which change colour with the seasons and the weather.  Green and yellow grass, rust red bracken, purple heather. Mists that drift, making them mysterious; golden sunsets softening them into great gentle pillows.  It's a secure and welcoming nest, and as a parent, just the place I want to see my daughter and her family flourish.
