This would entail both me and my family moving back to the Scottish mainland. That was 5 years ago and we have all settled into our new lives in beautiful rural Perthshire.
I still maintain a love of cycling, and have spent much time exploring the Strathmore valley around where we live. From Blairgowrie, to Dunkeld, from Murthly to Meigle, you get the idea.
We live in Blairgowrie, a town once renown for ' the berries'. The berries are still there however the picker now tend to come from Eastern Europe as opposed to Easterhouse as they once did. Blairgowrie and it's River Ericht is about 15 miles from Perth in one direction and 15 miles to Dundee in another. To get to the sea, we tend to head to Arbroath, around 30 miles to the east.
Verity, my oldest, who was three when I started this blog, is now 21 and a 4th Yr Herriot Watt Textile student living in Edinburgh and who travels to Galashiels for her studies. Twins Orla and Peter are both 16 and beginning S5 at Blairgowrie high school after 4 years with me in Pitlochry High. It will be very strange travelling to Pitlochry on my own without them in the car.
My wife Marina works in a primary school in Scone, about 12 miles from home.
That's about you upto date with what is happening now. I will talk to you again.
