Morna and brother Calum with Billy and his bride (their Auntie Joan) - Independence Day 1986! My blog has been on hold for the past week because the scheduled "get together for wedding preparations" day Mob and bride had planned for last Monday was postponed due to the bride recuperating from being in a traumatic car accident the previous week. Morna skidded on early morning black ice on the Tyndrum-Oban road, turned full circle and was stopped from going down an embankment by the car colliding into a tree. Luckily she escaped with only bruising and whiplash, for which we are all very thankful. The car is beyond repair and contents including her mobile phone and laptop had to be recovered as they went flying out through the broken windows and items are still missing. At times like this we are so grateful for acts of human kindness, not least the lady from Dalmally who, en route to the train station, missed a day's work in Glasgow, because she and her husband took Morna back to their home following the accident. Many thanks also to Uncle Billy (aka father of bridesmaids) who responded immediately to a call from John before 7am in the morning and, missing a day's work also, drove him out to assist Morna. He helped them both to sort out all the accident aftermath with police and vehicle recovery, driving them back to Glasgow and taking Morna to be checked out at the hospital. So we celebrate the fact that there are people out there who love and care! Now apart from dealing with insurance claims, Morna and John are considering borrowing a metal detector to go and look for her engagement ring (which was lying in a compartment along with her watch) lost in the impact of the crash. It's a shame but hey, we remember that it's life and love that are important! |

We rejoice and delight in you,
we will praise your love more than wine."
