I felt it the first time I stepped off of the plane and every time after. <br /><br />I hope that your self imposed resting is doing you both a world of good. How nice to be able to read, sip tea and to be together with the ones we love most. <br /><br />Hope the Songwriter is mending well.Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-91518922104345000182013-10-18T08:52:26.075-04:002013-10-18T08:52:26.075-04:00The candy jar is marvelous!

I would have helped you in any way I could have even though several hours away. I cringed thinking of you alone. To read your story I must say you are amazing; one very strong woman that you held it al together. Just know when you visit Scotland again, that you can alway contact me. I would happily give you our numbers before you leave the states, just in case. I'd say the songwriter made the best of a tough situation too. I hope his ankle is mending well and you are settled in for a much less exciting fall! Take much care, both of you.<br /><br />Cheers, Deb xDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-17848488893255838592013-10-13T10:41:33.538-04:002013-10-13T10:41:33.538-04:00Dearest Pamela,
Your latest post was especially d...Dearest Pamela,<br /><br />Your latest post was especially delightful and added to my birthday weekend! I simply adore autumn and love the fact that my birthday "falls" in the season I love most! I look forward the "serendipitous" connections between your posts and the things near and dear to my own heart. Here are a couple from this post: Upon receiving some money for my birthday, my first thought was, Perhaps this should be the beginning of my Scotland travel fund! I've thought that many times but always seem to find something else to spend the money on--usually art--that I can enjoy on a daily basis. But, oh, how I dream of going to Scotland! Never been, but it calls to me… With your stunning photo as inspiration, perhaps I can actually sock the money away for Scotland!<br /><br />Books! I just received "The Signature of All Things" by Elizabeth Gilbert ("Eat, Pray, Love") for my birthday. It's a period piece about a woman botanist who falls in love along the way. How can I possibly not lay hands on it until Christmas break, when I have time to savor this deliciously fat novel?… Finally, the book carousel made my mouth water! As another reader commented, how could I not have known such a beautiful thing exists? Wish there were room in our little Victorian cottage for such a piece… (I clicked on it anyway; no price listed, of course. ("If you have to ask, …" as the saying goes.) Ah, well, costs nothing to admire and appreciate!<br /><br />Thank you for more reading suggestions and ways to enjoy this most wonderful of seasons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-25033667674490129072013-10-12T20:51:43.674-04:002013-10-12T20:51:43.674-04:00Just arrived back home from a month in Italy and f...Just arrived back home from a month in Italy and found your blog like "coming home". It's one of the things I missed most (when time to think about it) and reading certain blogs are just part of my routine.<br /><br />Am ordering two books you showed - An English Room (for me) and Dog Songs (for a BFF) as a Christmas gift. Your selections are always spot on!<br /><br />Sorry to read about The Songwriter's "misadventure" but glad he's on the mend. Just so you know - I had a similar experience (though far from the travail you all went thru) in Scotland several years ago. I broke my leg (walking on a golf course and I don't even play) and had to go from a cottage hospital Granton on Spey, to Aviemore and then on to Inverness where they set my break. Like you and The Songwriter, whilst not a grand experience, the people were absolutely wonderful and I was able to take a set of x-rays home with me (unheard of in our country). Great service, wonderful people and all for the great cost of $114. Scotland Rocks!!!!<br /><br />Plan another trip soon and truly enjoy - The Isle of Mull is quite special and it's people warm and friendly.

I have a book recommendation for you, I am positive you will love it. An Innocent, A Broad. By Ann Leary, wife of Denis Leary, It is both hilarious and heartfelt. The true life story of their tiny premature baby born in England while they were on vacation. They were "stranded" in England unable to travel back home to the US and had to navigate the British healthcare system for several months and live in London. I know that your husband breaking his leg doesn't really correlate to the experience of a woman giving birth but I am positive you will be able to identify on some level. And it is just a good book. I loved your last post and can't agree more. Being British and living in the US I tend not to "criticize" the American health care system very much, but truth be told I think the system here is pretty close to sinful.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520055847733784523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-88748375420851138282013-10-08T16:48:26.830-04:002013-10-08T16:48:26.830-04:00Mary Oliver is my favourite poet too but I can'...Mary Oliver is my favourite poet too but I can't face her book just yet as I have recently lost my dear dog.

The time I went to London, it was near the end of our european adventure, and I didn't go to the park as all I could think of was going home to my dogs. I wish I could leave them and not worry. Speaking of dogs, just read a study today, that they've taken MRI's of dogs brains and they show that dogs have feelings like humans (they could have just asked us) and that maybe they will get more rights. I wish I could take my dogs with me on trips so I could travel more.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-72281871119898583042013-10-08T11:14:06.420-04:002013-10-08T11:14:06.420-04:00I love peppermint tea too!

She had to remind herself, everyday, how lucky she was.I pop into Cambridge quite often too.<br />.....and, the new series of Sherlock will be starting here soon { they are being very hush, hush about the date ! } plus new series of Mr. Selfridge ' and 'The Paradise '...... what with 'Downton Abbey ' , you won't be able to prise me away from the television !!<br />Hope that The Songwriter is well on his way to a full recovery.
