Moving on...

Its been a massive month for Emily....Graduation Disco, Taylor Swift, Wizard of Oz and moving on from Lairdsland Primary School to start at Lenzie Academy in August. Wow. And she's simply rocked it.

She looked stunning for the Graduation Disco. So grown up and quite the young lady. And then her first gig at one of the biggest there's ever been in Scotland... Taylor rocked too. She's also been rehearsing for the last 3 months for the Wizard of Oz production with the Kirky Players. That really blew me away just how good it was and just how much she flourished on stage.

But what really struck me about Emily is just how much she has changed and yet remained the same over the last 7 years. Her Leavers Assembly was truly amazing and she just shone with pure joy up there in front of everyone. Gone are her traces of shyness, she's full of confidence and zest for life. A real joy to behold and be around. She's confident, knows her mind, intelligent and talented. But most of all what I love about Emily is her heart. She really does have a genuinely good heart and is a complete delight and inspiration to be around. I am so very proud of her right now. June 2024 has left me speechless about how awesome she is, and I just know she is ready to thrive in the next chapter of her life.

You may be moving on Emily, but you're not moving on from centre stage in my heart. Go girl, you rock! You're going to rock Lenzie Academy as well.

How it started...

And how it ended.

Dodging the showers...

The showery weather just seems to keep on coming, and so we just have to get better at dodging the showers. And in between the showers we’ve managed to make the best of it. There's been a glorious bbq for our friend Andrew and his kids; and the weather just about held together for the Kirky gala and the Ford Freeride in Glasgow. I’ve even managed an awesome weekend away with John in the van around the Cairngorms. Slightly weather adapted from our usual munro bagging epics into a mountain biking epic due to the showers, but it was just great to be out nonetheless. That said the showers eventually caught us after a glorious most of the day and we got utterly drenched, but we managed a fire by the loch later and all was well.

Weather schmether. Its not been the best of summers so far, but we’ve coped….Final run of the school term is coming and then its holiday season. Lets hope we don’t need to keep dodging those showers for the rest of summer…

Another Kirky Gala hit
