Night out
HAd a lovely night out tonight at a restaurant in Stirling. My brother’s business has been going for 5 years so this was to celebrate and I got to meet all the people James works with. Kids had a great night too with their cousin and another little girl.
Today’s been cold, but the kids have spent a good deal of it outside in the garden and around the house. We had a walk out this morning exploring a little bit and then we pottered around the gardens thinking about growing veggies and stuff. Was nice to see signs of spring popping up with flowers and buds. Even got some birds on a feeder I put up the other day which is great since we never had any in our old house. I really do love this house just for the outside bit. So nice for them to be able to ride bikes without me worrying about cars and stuff.
Some big news to report on the HE front, although I did tell some people this at Melrose. Marcus has started reading!! he read almost a whole bit from one of the Sonlight I can Read it books. I’ve been able to tell he;s been ready for a little while now but obviously we’ve been a bit busy to do too much about it. It’s good to watch anyway 
Other big news was that we’ve had an offer on the house. Not as much as I’d like so we haven’t accepted it yet. 82K, and it was on for 85, but we’ll se what this week brings. We may take this one, not sure yet.
Possibly off to Callendar park tomorrow with my SIL, depends on the weather. But at least the kids shall have some company
still all sounding generally brilliant, Kirsty! Wow to the reading, that’s amazing! Sounds like a relatively reasonable offer on the house, too - look forward to hearing what you decide about that.

Woohoo for Marcus! Hope he’s pleased with himself.
I love watching the birds in our garden
