Nativity Play Take 1

Sav was an angel at her first nativity play (in dress only). Just a wee bit shy in quality of the shows produced by directrice L. Howard. But A++ for cuteness. Vid to follow. Costume by DobboMeg.

Nonno, Nonna, and the Bridge of Allan Charity Fun Day

Cute toddlers. Cute Dads. Question mark on the dolphins, but hey, twas for charity.

Jump to stay warm. Hands like ice blocks but no chance the devil will wear her mitts.

Stanley House Orchestra training session.

Quiet time with Nonno and Nonna. A lovely weekend visit.

Yoga Baby

Aunt Lynnie will be proud!

Armed and Dangerous

Number 1 in Race 455

The dark, rain, and snow couldn't stop the bike club from hosting its third "455" race last week. And who came down through Mine Woods first? MegaDob (or "DobboMeg", as Sav likes to call him... and as Dob likes to encourage).

4 minutes and 55 seconds - the time of the inaugural race winner - was clocked during a nice dry summer evening. The time wasn't to be beaten on a winter's night, but Dob still managed to lead amongst his worthy and hardy competitors.

Sunny Wee Ride

Bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast followed by a sunny wee ride. Awesome.

The Thistle and the Queen Meet the True North

It's official - wee Savvy is now Scottish-British AND Canadian.
Maple syrup pancakes with haggis and tea for everyone!

From Canada:
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons (and daughters) command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

From Scotland:
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen.
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

The hills are bare now,
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

From Britain:
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.
