The Suggestion of Spring

It's been a busy few weeks. We had the in-laws through again as they house sat (and Missy sat) whilst hubby and I went on a long overdue holiday to Disneyland Paris. I won't go into too much detail except to say that it's exactly what we've needed - a holiday away that felt "normal", a chance to throw the phones in a drawer and forget about them, and, most importantly, time for hubby and I together without work or chores or a million other things getting in the way.

It was cold, but dry which suits us perfectly. We had some lovely meals, met lots of characters and had some wonderful moments with them. My disney bounding was much complimented upon and we had a wonderful time.

Long overdue.

Of course I missed Missy terribly and, whilst I knew she was being well looked after, felt it was time to get home to her after the week. 

Missy was pleased to have us home, and to say farewell to Ruby! They get on great, but Missy has passed all notions of pandering to a young, naughty dog and is far more likely to ignore Ruby's antics than play with her. 

This last week has been getting back into the routine of things, although tomorrow marks the start of hubby's new job, so the routine is set to change again. He's rejoining the dark side and going back to retail. The cut in pay from the change and the reduction in hours is negated by the petrol costs, so we break even financially, and he'll have more time to help about the house.

And that's us. It's a true Scottish spring. The snowdrops are up, the daffodils are peaking thier heads through the soil and we have snow forecast for next week. On top of the torrential rains and winds (thank you Storm Otto, for the bath neither Missy nor I wanted!) 

Plans are afoot for a wee surprise next weekend for Missy, so until then, keep safe!
