Where do I belong?
No I'm not going all deep and philosophical with you today. The answer is quite simple. I'm that special breed of Scottish terrier known as a Westie and my heart is in the (west) Highlands. My spiritual home, you could say. That's where I was, too briefly, this weekend, at Gail's cottage by Loch Torridon to be precise.
I only wish we could spend more time there, exploring the beautiful mountains and lochs, and romping around in the marvellously squelchy bogs, the perfect surface for the dog with sensitive paws. I felt fully ten years younger.
So it's a bit of a come down to be back in boring old Aberdeen, especially as Gail is shortly going away for just over a week, leaving me at home but without my valued computer assistant!

Hi Hamish
That top picture of you is just the best! You look right at home against the backdrop of the mountains!
Our two leggars plan to retire to the Isle of Skye and they are getting really old so it shouldnt be too long.
How good it would be if you could stay there all the time however we all have to come back to work!
You will miss Gail but she is bound to bring you back a present cos she will feel so guilty at leaving you.
We think it is lovely that you have your own conservatory! Our is lovely in the summer but even with heating it is cold in the winter.
love and kisses

Greetings from Germany! And thanks for making us homesick for Wester Alligin. We will see you there in summer, I am sure. And take care of the friend who opens the fridge and fills the bowl!
Oh Hamish, you must have been so happy to be back in your spiritual home. I'm so happy for you. If I could be so bold to suggest, perhaps we could go there together sometime? I mean, ahummm,we are sort of an item now, are we not?
I'll be missing you.
