Well today I have been finishing off a big complaint to the Housing Ombudsman about the Housing Association/Drug dealer situation we were in this time last year. It is almost a year since we moved to Scotland now, the time has flown by and I genuinely wake up every day now feeling very happy and lucky to be where we are. We've met so many nice people, we're surrounded by beautiful countryside and we've got a lovely home with very nice neighbours. Honestly could only be improved by the invention of biscuits that make you lose weight instead of putting it on We get pheasants visiting most days, along with a few of the neighbourhood cats who come round to say hello (to me, not to the pheasants). There are lambs everywhere and the winter was not as bad as I thought it might be, with the exception of me getting the hump because it snowed this week and I couldn't be arsed to get all my snowy weather stuff out again. Really looking forward to what this year might bring and truthfully we've had so many shit years that it's really nice to be looking forward to something rather than praying it doesn't get any worse. Feel very fortunate. My boy was 21 earlier this month and he's the happiest he's ever been, so many new friends and activities for him to do here I'm 50 later on this year so two milestone birthdays, maybe this is a turning point for us. Feel very lucky that we've had this new opportunity.

I hope they can restore it, it's such a shame when these places just vanish over time.
