With Decorum

I've been on holiday for a week now and besides our day out hill-walking at Glen Shiel (which was amazing), we've mostly been decorating the Master bedroom. We've gone for an oatmeal type colour for the walls and a dark biscuit type colour for the woodwork. We decided to go for something bold to add a bit of character, so we chose the wallpaper above and ran it around the room. Looks nice! Still waiting until next week before we get the carpet done, then we can look at beds. I suppose it had to be done, although decorating is probably my second worst leisure-time pursuit after gardening.

Don't get me wrong, I love gardens. Looking at them that is. I simply don't have the patience to nurture one. Anyway, we live in Scotland, who needs a garden? We've got amazing scenery all around us. I had plans to visit Beinn Eighe next week for some more walking, but the forecast is for howling gales and snowfall. Might have to look at a smaller target. It's always nice to get out, but I'm averse to risking life and limb.

You might still be wondering why I revived this blog after more than two years without posting. Well, I use to find it quite therapeutic posting here when times were tough. Those times may be returning. I hope not, but there may be trouble ahead!
