MERRY CHRISTMAS 2024

Monty & Sylvia

We are both well. Monty had a cataract operation in September which has given him a new lease of life! He now sees all the spots and stains, but has been able to do a lot of painting and varnishing. He can do his crosswords without a magnifying glass which is amazing! I still clean the school and manage Fiona's AIRBNB (link below) which keeps me out of mischief. We are delighted to be great grandparents once again as Stephanie and Aiden had a beautiful baby boy Ronnie in September.

MARK

Mark is happy working in his job as Assistant Manager in Run4It, a specialist runners’ shop for footwear, clothing and accessories in Inverness. He loves training and enjoys his cycling holidays in Spain. This is a photo of him on one of his holidays there. See links below.

PAUL, Mitch and fletch

Paul is doing well in Perth, WA. His Integrity Management business A60N is flourishing which is great and keeps him very busy (see link below). Mitch and Fletch are now 15 and 13 and regularly enjoy spending time with Paul. This is a photo of them at 60N when they were home last summer.

fiona and craig

Fiona and Craig stay two doors away from us which is super. Craig works from home as Relationship Manager in Commercial Business Banking. Fiona works as ASN teacher in Tingwall Primary School and has also been doing two days a week with Education Outreach recently helping children with communication difficulties. This is a photo of them on holiday in Spain.

STEPHANIE, AIDEN AND FAMILY

Stephanie, Aiden and Mitchell welcome their new baby Ronnie. Stephanie is on maternity leave from her bank job. Aiden has his own business in Kirkwall selling Agricultural Sales and Spare Parts - Acagrisales (see link below). Mitchell will be three in January. He likes being busy and enjoys playing outside as much as possible. He loves his little baby brother.

ETHAN

Ethan is enjoying his job as a taxi driver with a local business. He decided to take a break from his employment as an electrician for a time and do something completely different. He enjoys driving and chatting to people so the job is perfect for him.

KAITLIN AND RYAN

A lovely photo of Kaitlin and Ryan, taken at a friend’s wedding. Kaitlin is presently working in social care and also as a support worker in the local primary school. In the New Year she will begin work as a customer consultant in a local bank. Her partner Ryan is a share fisherman on a vessel in the Shetland fleet.

It is great to see all the family well and happy. Monty and I wish you all peace and happiness this Christmas and every blessing in the New Year of 2025.
