The Path

was no longer a path, lots of water rushing off the fields and the burn was overflowing. Met my daughter at the wood to let the little ones have a play in the mud, Alice brought her bucket and spade and it gave us a chance to get out of our houses. The little one was squealing with delight when I spotted a couple walking past on the lane behind us, the man was looking at us and shaking his head in an unhappy manner and saying something to his wife. I don't think he appreciated our fun one little bit.

My Dad was taken into hospital today, he has heart failure and has filled up with a lot of fluid, having trouble breathing etc; so he will be there for a few days at least. Im hoping he will feel more comfortable soon.
