Scotland

I don't know if I have ever mentioned it
but I am moving to Scotland in a few months with my lovely boy.
I was thinking about Scotland a lot today
as I am very very very excited about the whole thing.
I have been to Scotland loads of times and I do love it.
So I began to think
Just to get myself all excited
Because I think it is important to keep excitement alive
what it is that I am looking forward to most.
This is what I came up with.

1. I am really looking forward to getting to know James' family a bit better.


A lot better really I guess considering I know next to nothing about them and they know next to nothing about me!
I have met most of his siblings and they all seem quite lovely so I'm not particularly nervous about being so close.
He also has the most adorable niece and nephews in Glasgow and it will be lovely to get to know them too.

2. Kilts.
I will be really disappointed if I don't see some Kilt action.
It may be dashing kilt action

or bold kilt action

I'm not fussy as long as I see some kilt!


3.
The land of jack daniels ribs and free refills.
Yum!

4. Exploring the highlands!

5. Visiting all the places made famous by my favourite Scotland(ish) movies




6. I'm looking forward to opening the next chapter in the story of Lu and James.

Who knows where this wonderful journey will take us!

    You don't need to leave this country to explore where Braveheart was made! ;)

    Seriously though, sounds so exciting!

Not many people are aware of it, but I had a bit of a health scare last week. I went for a regular 15 minute check up with my GP and spent the following 5 days in hospital going through every test imaginable to man. I am still in the middle of tests but the prognosis is so far positive and I have been allowed home for rest which is fabulous, but good god did I get a fright. And if I am honest I'm not sure Stuart is quite right after it all either!


I have been joking how I would love a good old MOT (NCT for the Irish amongst us), for a while now. They say mocking is catching, and I have fairly gone through the MOT process this last week. Oh boy has it been a fast week! In that time I have had more blood taken than was shed in the Game of Thrones. My hand is so bruised it looks like I have my first tan! I have seen my pancreas, liver, kidneys and an ovary (very cool scan if I say so myself!), I have had my pee collected in little buckets/bottles for 24hrs, and I have pretty much eith…

Missing Marguerite. 14 years later.

On this day, 14 years ago, the world lost a little bit of its magic, when at 11pm, my little sister took her final breath and life changed as we all knew it. She was only 17 years old. 17 years and 19 days to be exact. As I sat here today reading all the lovely messages written about her, my heart soared with pride in the fact that in her short time with us, she managed to have such a big impact on so many people. Marguerite Mary O'Dwyer, an ambassador for mischief, mockery and for having a marvellous time. I miss her so much.

It is funny how every year there is something different that I focus on for the anniversary. I never choose my train of thought, I think the year since the last anniversary chooses it for me. Last night, I got fairly plastered on wine and when my other half went to his bed, I sat and sang along to every sad song I could think of. I had a wee chat with Mags before I went to bed and woke up this morning well rested and ready to seize the day. 
I got quite sad a…

It has been a long, long time since I have written a blog post.
I don't know why, it has taken me so long, nor shall I apologise for it.
I could give you a thousand excuses and reasons, but I guess the main reason is that I didn't feel like I had an awful lot to say!

That is not true, I always have a lot to say. The topics that have been on my mind however are quite emotive (mostly Brexit related, and let's be honest we have read and heard more than enough about that shite), and it is very difficult to write something when you yourself don't even understand how you feel about it.

For me it is mostly disappointment, and nobody wants to read a whole blog piece about me feeling disappointed. So tonight, I am writing a much more positive one. I am writing some thankfuls.
I have spent the last few months reading and writing. I have spent some time with my family back in Ireland, and spent some wonderful time with Stuart, his family and my friends here in Aberdeen. I was ref…
