Favourite pastimes, visiting antique fairs etc., Driving around Scotland on a lovely day with my husband, walking grand-dog, specially on a sunny day. Collecting local postcards, and keeping young(?) hearing of my 2 teenage granddaughters' exploits. Gardening is fun too, until the aches and pains kick in!!

SAINTS HAVE ADORED THE LOFTY SOUL OF YOU
Saints have adored the lofty soul of you.
Poets have whitened at your high renown.
We stand among the many millions who
Do hourly wait to pass your pathway down.
You, so familiar, once were strange: we tried
To live as of your presence unaware.
But now in every road on every side
We see your straight and steadfast signpost there.
I think it like that signpost in my land
Hoary and tall, which pointed me to go
Upward, into the hills, on the right hand,
Where the mists swim and the winds shriek and blow,
A homeless land and friendless, but a land
I did not know and that I wished to know.
