A weekend in pictures

Friday started off with walking the in-laws dog. She is with us at our house all week, so there will be lots more lovely walks :-) her name is Jugal, which is old scots for dog.
We walked past this old ruin. When I first moved here, about 20 years ago, it still had a roof and plaster on the walls.
This is the view from the ruin. It would make a lovely house, it's about a quarter mile outside the village, so quiet but not isolated.


Friday evening we all went for a picnic to the park at a neighbouring village (Shawhead). The park is actually about a quarter mile outside the village so it's really peaceful and not overlooked by lots of houses. We had the whole park to ourselves. DH met us there when he finished work. We took the camping stove and had sausages on rolls. Doesn't food always taste better when you are outdoors. I climbed up to the top of the slide to take some pics.


The kids didn't keep still for long enough for me to take pictures but I managed to get DH as he was packing things away.

He's smiling because I told him he was going on my blog :-) he thinks I'm joking!
Saturday evening we went fishing at the loch just outside our village.

We didn't catch anything, but that's okay.
Sunday was spent visiting our dads for fathers day, I gave my dad Jean-Luc, and then in the evening we went fishing again.
Still no fish.
I love weekends like this, mostly spent outside, having lots of fun, laughing, running and just being together. I hope our summer is filled with weekends like this one.

Well, no stitching to show here but I think I know what I am going to stitch next. I don't have the colour of fabric I need so I will have to dye some :-)

Have a great week,

Great photos Sadie, it looks like you live in a beautiful part of Scotland. I noticed that you have Prairie Schooler on your wishlist - I've just finished using it for a private exchange that I'm participating in, so if you'd like it send me your address and I'll wing it your way!
Regards,
Christina

That should have said Prairie Schooler 'Trick or Treat'...honestly, if I had a brain I'd be dangerous!
