p.s. Allie, will the Pipers be piping tonight?

Have a great time Angel xxx

 

[gaelic girl]

Not tonight Bev saving the pipers for Hogmanay there will be a lot of them about. Its traditional in the main town in Lewis that the pipe band lead a procession of the local people through the streets to welcome the new year. Its the one time you are allowed to drink on the streets too. All this weather permitting. My mince is all ready just the potatoes to cook and mash, it really is comfort food on a snowy day and oh so scottish lol. Hope you are well today hun and staying warm xx

Haha... me too Jac... my feet are like blocks of ice due to the diabetes, so I don't feel the cold and I have to take really good care...

I can't tell you how I'm longing for an improvement in my diabetic state post surgery.... one of my main drivers to get the surgery done...

Love to all xxx

 

[gaelic girl]

I've had two pairs of socks on nearly every day plus my ugg boots when i'm out lol. This having no meat on me to keep me warm takes a bit of getting used to. I put loads of black pepper on my tatties Bev, they were good. xxx

 

[Bev]

Haha... I'll compare some cooking notes when we meet Allie, my grandparents were Scottish, so haggis is a delicacy in our family!

Love you and take care xxx

 

[gaelic girl]
