Sadly I won't be taking any more photos for a while as my camera needs two hands, but I promise to be more careful in the future. :-)<br /><br />Tim, DH has a stock of rechargeables and if I'm out for the day, I'll usually take spares, but for a stroll to the post office it just didn't occur to me. I'll admit last rose was poetic exaggeration, but usually the late buds don't manage to open properly. This year is different and that bud is now half-open, with others showing signs too.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-23156808931218127572014-11-24T14:47:49.902+00:002014-11-24T14:47:49.902+00:00Oh, if you like dramatic skies, you really must vi...Oh, if you like dramatic skies, you really must visit the Highlands, Jennifer.

It's been very grey for much of the time since we arrived, but we haven't had the rain you've had further south, for which I'm grateful. But it's been unusually mild under the heavy cloud and I think we all look forward to some crisp, bright, frosty mornings.<br /><br />Your presence in the blogosphere has been missed and I look forward to seeing you back when the time is right. Life can just take over sometimes and of course there are priorities which come much higher than blogging at any time.

I too may be tempting fate but I am quite looking forward to some frosts to dry up the waterlogged fields. <br /><br />I've sadly neglected blogging for most of this year, so you are doing far better than me despite house moves of one sort and another. Many reasons for writing so little, which I am trying to sort out in my head - and then, of course, I can write about the reasons for not writing!<br /><br />Hope you get some more bright days while you are up here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-14179447029480925772014-11-19T23:03:33.362+00:002014-11-19T23:03:33.362+00:00So glad you enjoyed them, Catriona.So glad you enjoyed them, Catriona.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-32828763395753790182014-11-19T23:03:13.608+00:002014-11-19T23:03:13.608+00:00So am I, Molly.

Sorry to hear you've had dreary weather too. There's something so depressing about very short, grey days. I do hope you've escaped the effects of the dreadful snowstorm which hit the Great Lakes area.
