I'm running a couple of photos behind myself at the moment, as this was taken on Sunday at our coffee break on the bridge over the Tullich burn, near Ballater. DNT cup, of course, and a piece of Christmas Stollen. Our walks are a little curtailed at the moment as hubby's hand injury from last week turned out to be worse than we'd thought - he's got 3 broken bones at the base of his hand. Having had two x-rays, he's waiting to hear how the consultant plans to deal with it. Appt. in Aberdeen tomorrow will provide us with that information, we hope. In the meantime, we're sticking to straightforward low-level walks, as it's difficult for him to get a jacket off and on, not to mention tying shoelaces, using a map and compass, etc. etc. etc.
We also had some very sad news on Friday, that our brother in law, Paul, was killed in a freak accident whilst he was out on a job for the vehicle recovery service company he worked for. The whole family is in shock as it was just so unexpected and sudden. He was only 65.
Oh how awful, condolences to you and the family Issi! Wishing you strength to get through this difficult time. Lovely shot btw, love the idea of stollen.
Oh Issi... I am so sorry you have had all this at one time. The family will be devastated at this sudden loss. Thinking of your hubby & his broken bones..
What an awful time you are having, so sorry to read of your loss and poor hubby out of action too with broken bones isn't good just before Christmas. Sending virtual hugs. xx
Thinking of you and your family at this time with the loss of your loved one and also thinking of your hubby and his hand, may it heal swiftly. Take care xx
That is not good news....sad for your loss and for hubby's injury, hope it gets fixed quickly and easily. We have already eaten our 'Christmas' stollen and have HAD to buy another ...
You're a traditionalist, I see. I haven't seen an enamel mug for possibly decades, though since Mrs L is Norwegian it is quite possible we have one of these in the garage somewhere. My own hiking mug is high-tech titanium, half the weight and ten times the cost, and still capable of burning your lips if you are too impatient!
My condolences for your family's loss, and my best wishes for a speedy recovery for your husband. Hope it's not his drinking hand, that would be a tragedy with Hogmanay coming up!
A nice simple photo that tells a story.
Somehow missed the fact that your husband had hurt is hand. I hope the treatment is simple and quick. And my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your BIL.
Oh, Issi, what a terrible shock for you. I will include Paul and his/your family in my prayers. I hope your husband’s hand will heal as well and quickly as possible.
The relaxing scene belies the turmoil in your life right now. I’m so sorry about your families loss. I hope your hubby gets his hand fixed back to full use and soon as possible.
I like that you've done this in black and white- it gives it a timeless feel. I hope there will not be too much pain or discomfort as the broken hand is addressed and healing. A tough time to have that and then lose someone so special.
So sorry to hear about the injury of J. and the loss of your family member. What a difficult time for your family. I'm so sorry, and sending my condolences and prayers.
