at last . . . . . we are moved . . . . . hurray
the last boxes are unpacked
homes have been found for every little thing
we are slowly but surely settling in
these deliciously sunshiny days have found us
in our new garden space, tucked into the hill
digging & clearing & pruning
much cutting of grass and pulling of weeds
we have uncovered quirky steps and hidden corners
forgotten plants & neglected flowers
fallen down walls & buried treasures
we are as busy as the bees, planning & planting
and filling our wee space with happiness
and . . . looking forward.

thank you for stopping by your words mean so much
have lifted my spirits so, when the going got tough

Can you tell me Ruthie who was Jock Mc Ginty? My dad has just passed away and altho his name was Geoffrey his dad always called him wee Jock Mc Ginty...I have been wondering about this...

thank you all x x
ReplyDeleteHi Delwyn - so sorry to hear about your dad. i asked mr o who was born & bred in scotland and very up on things. we are not sure about the name jock mcginty. The english call the scottish jocks - or singularly a jock, in scotland a person named john is often called jock. There is an old irish song "paddy mcgintys goat, but other than that, we dont know , sorry not to be of more help. x x
Wow Ruthie, what a delightful little space you've carced out for yourselves there. Utterly beautiful! I'm glad to hear you're all settled in, I truly believe people when they say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can ever do. All the best in your new home!
