We have been out and about, to Rambottom no less, in Lancashire, to celebrate the Silver Wedding of our friends Catherine and Philip Burgess.\u00a0 As ever, it was grand to see old chums and we are filled with the urge to do more of the same.\u00a0 Hotel had a pool, which was a bonus,\u00a0 and I only hit my head off the side twice.<\/p>\n

Nephew Daniel is nine now,\u00a0 we had a jolly birthday lunch at Granny’s.<\/p>\n

And the Mincers played Abbeyview in Dunfermline, where once more the band and groupies were treated to an exclusive table at the interval, a table which was laden with home baking and a giant pot of tea.\u00a0 The teapot acquires mirage-like qualities for me, I’m scared it will disappear before I touch it, and I ensure that an eclectic selection of comestibles is squirrelled away for afterwards.\u00a0\u00a0 Ha, you<\/em> try singing after eating even half a mini sausage roll, never heed a bowl of stovies.\u00a0 Anyway, it was a most enjoyable evening, very different acoustics which kept us all on our toes!<\/p>\n

Last weekend we went along to help at Ally Blair’s scary party, which was held in the frankly beautiful new Dunfermine High.\u00a0 Now, I know only too very, very well that no amount of amenities and groovy right-on hang out areas are going to make the school experience any better, if the peer pressure, the bullies and the curriculum are conspiring to create your own personal hell, but hey! at least they had employed an architect with vision.\u00a0 And it all gets better once you find your own tribe.\u00a0 So, back to the party.\u00a0 Ally chose cool creatures from Cool Creatures <\/a>and I would thoroughly recommend this, although I would draw the line at ess pee eye dee eee are ess.<\/p>\n

NO scary pictures below, sisters, it’s safe to look, but if you want the full list it was:-<\/p>\n
