Winter is
upon us again. The crops have been harvested. They are stored
away for the colder times ahead. The usual chill of the highlands
has started to be felt but the snow has not as yet started to
cover the land and adorn the hills, tress and hoemsteads. It
has been a very different time, here in the highlands, this
summer and autumn. The weather has been less predictable but
no less enjoyable for those of us who were blessed with staying
around to enjoy it. Unfortunately, our laird was required to
travel to distant lands for a period. He was not here to enjoy
many of the magnificent highland days that graced our lives.
But he hath returned and we are thankful for now we can move
forward strongly into the winter months and ensure that the
feelings of love and warmth that are part of the Yuletide season
embrace us, one and all.
Inside the
castle, we are busying ourselves for the winter activities.
The fire has been lit ad will burn until spring; the drapes
have been pulled to keep out the cold and capture the warmth
within; preparations ae well under way for the festivities to
come and the business of the winter season is being embraced
in every way. Winter is not a time of sleep at Rablogan Castle
but rather a time of warmth. love and caring that is nurtured
by the elements that encourage every one of us to spend more
time with each other and in each others embarce.
Cors, the
castle cat, has had a very busy summer and fall meeting new
friends, little ones that he often brought home for a visit,
and also maintaining his dominance over the animal population
of his kingdom. However, as the winter winds start to blow in,
he too is turning to warming abodes such as the rug in front
of the fire. No doubt, he will take this winter season to 'eat,
drink and be merry. like the rest of us.
