It's 12.11 and we are sitting at the table in the dining room (Elizabeth's dining room, as that is where I'm staying while I'm in Scotland) The sun is streaming in the window, and I am happy just sitting here, basking in it!
Elizabeth is sitting to the left of me, whispering to Mylo - her blue roan cocker spaniel- as she works. She is making a pair of earrings for me, to match the top I am wearing to the wedding tomorrow. The table is strewn with wire, beads, fabric (she is very crafty, my friend Elizabeth and she not only makes jewellery, but also quilts and knits!) and patterns.
Mylo moves to try and find a spot in the sun. After he throws himself on the wooden floor, all I hear is his contented breathing and the snip snip of the wirecutters......."Are these OK for you?"- I am jolted out of my reverie by Elizabeth's question and after her assuring her that they are perfect, look at my watch. I realise that time has flown as usual, and that I have to get moving...I am supposed to be picking my MIL up in fifteen minutes, and taking her for lunch!
