All quiet!

Well the "little one" has gone to Scotland!

Friday night was a bit stressful as the flight was delayed but we got there in the end! I had forgotten one of the beautiful things about Scotland. We were on the road well after 1am and it was still quite light. There was the most beautiful "sunset", the sky was a gorgeous shade of azure with tnges of orange. It brought back memories of my childhood when we played outside in the "twilight" until easily 11pm in the summer evenings. I even had to explain to Ross that he still had to go to bed even when the sun was still shining at 9pm the next evening!

I stayed with him for Saturday and Sunday, and flew back on Monday afternoon (no delays this time!). Much as we need some "us" time, I think we are going to really miss having Ross around. For this first couple of days it's a bit of a novelty, but already it's amazing how quiet the house is in the mornings. No kids TV, no arguing over breakfast or rushing madly to get to school and work on time!

We'll see how the next few days go. We should start the painting this weekend, or at least moving the furniture and filling holes etc. I think much is going to depend on the heat.
