So many things happen in our busy lives that I want to hold on to and remember. Little things - things that might go unnoticed, or missed in the hurly burly. Nothing special and yet - oh - how completely special!
♥ Revelling in these glorious Autumn colours.
♥ Loving all those extra pairs of boots in the hall, still covered with sand from the beach
♥ Watching them fall in love with the stone circle
♥ Shopping in town, (or, if you are 4, then finding more interesting things to do);
♥ Halloween party fun
♥ Late night chess matches (with a wee dram by the side!)
♥ Then all too soon, these seven magical days are over, and we are saying goodbye.
It was such a wonderful holiday - missing them already.
If you would like to join in with your own Seven Days, please leave a link in the comments, so that we can all share in each other's ordinary, extraordinary days.

I do the same thing Jacqui-those moments that I don't want to have lost in the flotsam and jetsam! Your's sounds wonderful and glad you enjoyed your company!

Your week looks just wonderful! Seems that you had such a lovely time with your visitors. Your bookswap parcel arrived today - amazing how you picked books that I will so very much enjoy!! Jamie loves the books too - he has been asking about James and the island you live on, i don´t think he totally understands it though!
Anyway - thank you xxx
