Kirsty and Dan's Visit to Scotland

Janis's sister, Kirsty, and her fiancé Dan came over from Toronto for our daughter’s wedding.

Dan had never been to Scotland before so they took the opportunity to visit a few places on the Eastern side of Scotland while they were staying with us.

Here are a few pictures taken during their time here.

Dan was very brave when asked if he would like to wear a kilt for Claire and Ferruccio’s wedding as he had never really seen one before. Well done Dan! And he looked good in it too.

Dan and Kirsty are getting married in Toronto in July but I don’t think Dan will be so willing to

wear a kilt then.

"April Showers" by Al Jolson

I woke up this morning to see this outside! April showers indeed. Brrrr! Ah, well, I can sit in and catch up with the TV programmes I have missed over the past 2 weeks. Janis is working today so I will have a lazy time after I have cleared away the snow from our paths. Kirsty and Dan left for home in Toronto yesterday. We had a good time together. Next time we see them it will be at their wedding in Toronto in July. The Spinelli's are still on honeymoon in Venice and will return home on Monday to start a new life together.

“Something Beautiful” by Robbie Williams

What can I say? It was such a beautiful day. Claire looked beautiful, Ferrucccio looked beautiful and it was a beautiful day. I have had the two most emotional days in my life so far. The first was when my little baby daughter, Claire, was born into this World and the second is when I gave her away to be married on the 1st April 2006. I was so overcome with joy for her. We had a really great day. Both families and all our friends said so. Everything went to plan even although both Janis and I were a wee bit stressed out in the morning. I went for a swim and a sauna to relax while Janis went to get her hair styled along with the bride and her bridesmaids. From 1pm onwards I just do not know where the time went. It was like sliding through a time warp because before I knew what was happening it was the next morning and we were all having breakfast together, family and friends, all. What a great bunch of friends we have. Thank you all for helping to make it a special day for Claire and Ferruccio. Mr & Mrs Spinelli are now honeymooning in Venice. We all wish them well in their marrage. Lang may yir lumb reek!
