Waiting for tomatoes to ripen is a bit like watching paint dry, at least we'll be able to eat them.

November has been a sad month for us,
as Malcolm's Mum passed away at the grand age of 94.

Clara "Babe" Purvis


💜


Only a few days before she died, Mum thrashed us both at cards even though she said she didn't feel so well 
and she won £25 on her premium bonds,
 both made her very happy.

Mum made a completely new start when she moved to Scotland in 2015 aged 90, had a new house built
 and made new friends.

It just goes to show that you are never too old to try something new !

💚

In remembrance of Mum 
if you would like to plant a fruit tree or bush somewhere this would please her immensely as she loved her garden and in earlier years was quite prolific in growing fruit and vegetables;

she would delight in the idea that these new trees would continue to give life and goodness for years to come.

💛

Babe with her daughter Barb, my late Mum and Malcolm,
all totally bonkers !!!!

We would like to thank

 all the staff at Isle View Nursing Home for their unending kindness, joy and professionalism over the last two years
💛

and also
our thanks to Birgit, Elna and all the staff at GAMS
for their enthusiasm and support;
💜

to the marvellous team at the
 Gairloch Community Car Scheme;
💚

to Janette and Lorna for their weekly gifts to Mum of table decorations from the Pop-Up cafe
💛

and
 to everyone in the community for welcoming Mum into the area when she first moved to Ormiscaig in 2015 
at the age of 90 and for making her final years so enjoyable.

Many thanks to you all.

I haven't taken many photographs this month so instead I have included some quotes and pictures from the internet that may give inspiration.
