I am hosting a celebration of Scotland remaining in the UK.
It was such a relief yesterday that the yes vote was not a winner. Aswell as all the business/ historic reasons, I was born in England and lived all my life here but all my family are Scottish/ Irish. I wasn't looking forward to a situation of not belonging to a British family and Scotland being classed as a 'foreign ' country. I am proud of my mixed British heritage, and didn't want this to change - or the union Jack to lose it's blue section! I was up at 4am yesterday to watch the count so by the time LO's arrived I was a little emotional, I don't think anyone noticed, the one parent I mentioned it to had forgotten about it, the whole historic happening had just passed her by!
I am now proud of the way we have democratically sorted this out too.
So, in honour of this occasion a few friends have been invited tonight.
My day so far has been spent: cleaning the kitchen, shopping, blitzing the downstairs of anything childmindering and as I type I have just spotted a label on the back of the door that I have missed! Emailing family, walking the dog, photographing birds on our feeding table, filling in a headcount form for funding, piano practice, cuddling DH, posting a birthday card to son in Columbia and finishing a cd design cover for a local musician.
Just got to clean bathrooms, hoover and polish everywhere and prepare food.
Really loving planning something other than a childlinked theme!
aww FloraDora how emotional for you, never thought about the impact it would of had on Scottish/British families. How could that mum forget it's the talk of everyone and everything and congratulations to Scotland for being the first nation to get the support and involvement of the young people in the debate they were so involved and passionate about the outcome.
Enjoy your wee drink and hope your debate went well
