Good Morning Bollockeers From Lil'Duck.
Happy St Andrews Days for those of you with Tartan Blood !
Am now at home with Mom, James and kids have left this morning for Eire.
We intend cracking open a bottle of Dad's BEST Malt today to celebrate the day - He will be turning in his grave !
I just wanted to say, that everything went well on Monday, and I think Dad would have been proud.
Thank you so much to Chris, Shirley, Mike and Simon for attending. It would not have been the same without you.
We are all completely over whelmed at ALL the messages, cards, texts and emails from you all. Thank you so much from Mom and myself.
We will see you all next week in London......Mines a double of the best Malt in the house !!
Thanks Guys [and Gals !] You are ALL the BEST !
Lots of love from Lil' Duck

Yes, Happy St Andrews and I'm happy that things have slowed down for you now Elise and you can try and get your head around all this. I can't imagine a Dad that could be more proud of his daughter than yours. Best wishes and love always, Dan xxx
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Dan xx How's things with you ? Enjoying a little peace and quiet now for a few days, just me and Mom. Loads of love xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a privilege to be there.
ReplyDeleteLots of love to your family, still thinking of them.
Take care and relax now. xxxx
Morning Chris xx Thank you both so much. Received the email, am delighted that Shirley was snapping away ! Please thank her very much for me. Will catch up next week. Lots of love xx
ReplyDeleteAll's well here girl :-) I've been invited to a 20th by one of my fellow students on Saturday, when it's my 60th!!! I told her that in 40 years time she'll understand why I have to go home early :-) Having said that, she'll be 60 then and I'll be 100 :-))) xxxx
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ! Nice one ! As George will tell you, he has never had SO MUCH FUN and gotten into so much TROUBLE since he was 60 ! PMSL ! Have a great time, will catch up soon xx

ReplyDeleteHappy St. Andrews Day from north of the border too. Thanks Elise. Hope you and you mum can now relax a bit. Enjoy your malt tonight. xx
Thanks Sheena xx We will be having a 'wee dram' for dad xx
ReplyDeleteHi Elise, HAPPY ST ANDREWS DAY to you too,
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day to send off your beloved Dad, the weather could not have been better for you all. I too am so pleased that I took the photos, which have turned out good (as far as "snap shots" go) - we both thought it would be a record of such a special day for your family to look back on. I hoped it was not an intrusion on the happenings at a funeral, and hope it didn't offend anyone. The occasion was, to us, a celebration of Ian's life, and although we didn't know him personally, only met him at Leicester briefly, I'm sure he was a great personality, great fun, and I would have loved to know him better. (I have always been interested and indeed involved with aircraft one way or another.) I will be delivering Chris to Luton airport to catch his bus (he is into buses!!) for the meeting in London. Sorry I won't be there, (another appointment) but my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Chris will be bringing with him the photo prints for Elsie. Hope George and Lynn will be able to get down, and I shall miss seeing them. Isn't it wonderful that there is such a support group for those who desperately need a lift up. We must keep "the word" going out to men.
Anyway, it was wonderful to get to know you and Elsie better, we can picture faces and personalities now!
Keep up the cake making, it is very therapeutic to see all your creations.... Good for the soul.
Keep laughing, our love to you and the family
Shirley xxxxxxx
Thank you so much Shirley xx it was a celebration, and that is exactly as Dad would have wanted and expected....even down to the Harley outriders escorting him on his final journey ! Lots of love and thanks to you both xx
ReplyDeleteGeorge ? Stop lurking ! I can see you xx
ReplyDeleteGlad it all went well Elise..xx.....
ReplyDeleteWish you & Elsie strength & love,& have a wee dram or two with you next week....xx
Chris & Shirley.....not sure if our paths crossed up at Leicester.....
but I was the one talking all the bollocks....
John xx That could be a pic of George ! xx
ReplyDeleteHola Elise and the silly peeps.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a picture of me and I'll never forgive John for posting it.
Yup...I 'lurked' in earlier but was dragged off the 'puter to deal with the usual daily crises @ home as usual!!
I'm so glad everything went so well yesterday, Elise. I've seen some really nice photos of you and the kids(thanks for that Chris).
You all looked terrific, and did your dad proud.
Chris and Mike kept me bang up to speed, and both wanted to send me a copy of the service.
I told Mike Chris had beaten him to it, and the envelope was already winging its way North (THANKS AGAIN CHRIS...it arrived safely about an hour ago).
Here's to St. Andrew's Day..............Get yerselves 'STOTTIN' down there in Oxford, and send us a disc of your mom singing raucous Scots anthems!! lol
Thanks George xx No Stotties this far South, but definitely a 'wee Dram' will be downed this evening ! xx
