Positive Thinking
It’s been such a long time since I posted anything on this site! The few people who actually kept up to date with my blog will probably think I dropped off the face of the planet.
Not so! I’m back… and hopefully this time to stay.
This past year has been eventful and lots of fun. It would take far too long to fill you in on everything that’s been happening but after a difficult start to our new life in the North of Scotland me and Mike have settled in nicely. We’re still living in our lovely country cottage with our remaining pussy cat Smudge, with the addition of a tropical fish tank full of interesting inhabitants. We’re both enjoying work to a reasonable extent, having made a number of good friends and finally settling into a routine. I’m so grateful to be back in a job that I enjoy, after my last disaster. But we won’t talk about that!
In the latter half of 2007 I finally got back involved with theatre, taking the adult lead in a new musical called Lady Lane. It was lots of fun and made me realise just how much I’d missed acting and singing. I’m in the middle of rehearsing for a new play which opens on the 28th February called The Guid Sisters. It’s a black comedy and I play a pretty interesting character called Rose.
My little nephew Will is growing up fast. He’s 18months old now and chattering away like a dafty. I can’t get over how clever he is and how funny. My brother David and his wife Laura are doing a spectacular job of raising him and I love being so close to them.
My parents are both well and just as supportive as ever. Just recently I’ve started to realise that my parents don’t just love me… the actually like me. Probably sounds like a strange thing to say but so many family don’t have that kind of relationship. They spend time together because they have to… not because they want to. The four of us love spending time together, having dinner and just chilling out. I’m lucky to have them.
I’ve been feeling more like myself than I have in as long as I can remember. Doing all the things I used to love doing… being the person I enjoy being… with the love and support of those people most important to me.
I’m very lucky!

...and we're just as lucky to have you!
Great to see you posting again!
Couldn't agree more with Lana - we're very lucky to have you as a friend.
Still miss you down here in KDY though!
