In reply to Alison. Oh goody (re: the possibility of a meeting)(and re: an extended stay, if it's what you fancy)!! I'll look forward to hearing from ya! And I look forward to the deets of your Paris trip. I haven't been there since 1990 (gasp), but a visit is set to happen in June as part of a two-week mama-son rail jaunt around The Continent with my graduating teen. I intend to bore him with lots of pointing at my 1985 study-abroad dorm and other dimly-recalled sights/sites, and to yank him into the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay, but a food emphasis sounds mighty fine. Let me know if Le Glacier Moderne is still selling life-affirming gelato in the Latin Quarter! xoxoxo

In reply to Jerusalem. You know how I love a baked good. Of course, I had to be extra committed with #TinyOven. ;) Still, I'm crossing my fingers for an Arkansas Christmas next year. XOXO

In reply to Lynn. Oh I would love to have a cup of tea before we leave Scotland!! There are several Chinos praying that our time here would get extended so who knows what is in store! Only the Lord!! Best of luck with your upcoming move!! I didn't know you were leaving the Borders! Fife is pretty too though! And lots of new places to explore. :) XOXO Alison

Oh I love this post. I can almost imagine being in the middle of it all. So good to see your table covered in baked goods again.

What a delight this little tour o’ the holidays was, Alison — thanks so much! I felt a pang when I read in another recent post that you guys would be leaving this summer; I know we’ve never crossed actual paths, but I don’t like the idea of your not being in Scotland any longer! Email me if you fancy getting together some time for a cuppa — we’ll be in the Borders until the end of February, then getting settled in Fife. xoxo Lynn

I have been following your emails since 10/21/15. I just love the photos, spiritual sayings and news from you. I live in a farming/ranching town of 2,500 people 30 miles south of Dallas, Texas. There are many Scottish families in Texas. My grandfather McClain was Cherokee & Scottish. Your wonderful emails are enjoyed by many, many people who would not otherwise be able to see Scotland. I thank you. Take care. May God bless you and your family

In reply to Babs. Thanks for following along! What a joy to have little ones at Christmas (and all times!!) I already think I am going to love being a grandparent, even though it's not in my immediate future. :) XOXO
