One: The moment when we had finished putting up the curtains in the bay window. It's now so much warmer in the room and it's always great to look at a job well done.
Two: On the walk this morning, Clemency and I saw two deer at the broch. The cold weather means they have to be braver about finding food.
Three: This morning, we had a very special guest in the garden: a pine marten! It was caught on the trailcam playing on the swing frame.
Four: Today, we finally opened up the church organ and played some Christmas carols. It sounded very atmospheric!
Five: There were a couple of proper snow showers today, especially in the early afternoon. Always exciting!
Six: The pine martens weren't our only visitors - we also found evidence on the trailcam of a family of pheasants wandering across the lawn. They looked like mini-dinosaurs!
Seven: It can get very busy at this time of year, but it's still lovely to take the time to wrap presents and write cards.
Eight: Today's Children of Green Knowe was Toby's Story. It's always lovely to have the next installment of the Oldknowe family!
Nine: Because of various other exciting things which have been happening (check out our other blogs!) we only just got round to opening our first batch of Christmas cards. It's lovely to hear from loved ones from far and near.
Ten: All Christmas music is beautiful in its own way, but there's something particularly exquisite about the opening bars of Love Divine. Absolute magic!
Eleven: Receiving pictures of our nieces - it's their first day together! Two are our sister's daughters and one is our brother's. With over 1000 miles between them usually, this was a special moment!
