I had a wonderful day out yesterday to Loch Lomond with my lovely daughter and husband for lunch at the Marina. As well as a delicious meal (my daughter's treat for Mother's Day), the beautiful scenery only added to the pleasure. My heart always lifts when visiting this majestic Loch, in any weather. Spring was definitely in the air, together with a little nip of a breeze. As usual in our west coast, a few clouds eventually spoiled the otherwise blue sky but didn't spoil our walk along by the shore. I'll try not to gobble up all the chocolates in one go now! And my clever daughter also put together some lovely music for me - looking forward to hearing what she chose once I start writing (she knows the type of music I enjoy).
My son phoned later in the day for a wee chat, as he and my daughter-in-law should be presenting us with our first grandchild in late May and they're trying to get everything ready for this major change in their lives. Can't wait!
Just had confirmation this morning that my first tween novel,
Summer of the Eagles, should be released at the end of the week. I'm going to organise a cyber launch on my children's blog for one day next week, once I know it's definitely available. Watch out for details at the beginning of next week and we'll have an online party!
Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

What a wonderful picture!
Double excitement - the book and the new baby, won't be long now :-) Lovely x
You are certainly having a very busy time, Rosemary...but it's good to have so many pleasant things happening.Looking forward to the new book.
This is such an exciting year for you, Rosemary. It couldn't get much better than a new book and a new baby.
I love Loch Lomond, although it's over forty years since I was there. I remember the peace and beauty of a boat trip there in June 1970 as part of a school-trip to Edinburgh and it could have happened yesterday, my memories of it are so vivid.
I'm so glad you had such a lovely Mother's Day.
Thanks, Teresa - it's all go!
Thanks, Myra!
Thanks, Joanna - it really is a peaceful place and so beautiful on a bright sunny day, or with snow on the hills. Hope you get a chance to come back!
Congratulations on the book and the imminent (I hope not too imminent!) arrival of your first grandchild!
I've never been to Loch Lomond even Scotland,but it's on my list!
PS My spell checker recommends 'Loomed' instead of 'Lomond' !
Sounds like a lovely Mother's Day, Rosemary. Looking forward to the new book.
Ah sure, you're a luck woman:-)
Thanks, Jean - you've got to see Scotland!
Thanks, Joan!
Sure am, Karen!

How exciting about Summer of the Eagels! Nice pic too. Have you got any of those chocolates left? x
The music is lovely, thanks, Vikki - especially like Video games, New Moon and the Evenescence and Scala tracks!
Still have a few, Diane!
Wow! Sounds like a very good weekend - lots of exciting things happening in your world. The lake looks beautiful.
