Today has been a special day! Here's some of the reasons why:
One: The French Family arrived today!
Two: It was school Santa day at Lybster today.
Three: When Judith mentioned that tomorrow would be her last day at school, one of her pupils got upset - she explained she only meant last day before Christmas and they were much happier.
Four: Meeting Baby Ailsa (our niece) for the first time. She is such a bright little button!
Five: Orlando was over the moon to have his Alex back. He got so giddy, and was leaping up at him as though he thought he was a puppy again (he's actually nine years old!).
Six: When we were sitting down for lunch, a rainbow suddenly appeared over the hill opposite.
Seven: I was back to present-making again today. I can't say too much, but they are going well!
Eight: Going around this morning and switching on all the Christmas lights. There are the two trees and four other sets.
Nine: Getting out on a dog walk again. The dogs have been mostly playing in the paddock during the snowy weather, which has been lovely but it was nice to take to the road again!
Ten: I had to chip through almost an inch of ice in some places to get the paths clear, but it was very satisfying standing back to look at a job (fairly) well done.
Eleven: Today we got an unexpected visitor at the feeding station. He was much too large to reach the seeds, but the little birds kept dropping things down to him.
Twelve: The crows are back in the crow's nest. This is one of the tallest trees in the garden and the crows were sitting there cawing across to us as we went out on our walk.
Thirteen: Giving the dogs their Advent Calendar treats - we realised that when Jess stands up on her hind legs she's about the same height as Orlando sitting up!
Fourteen: The moon this morning has a real sickle, and it was very yellow. It looked like it had come from the pages of a storybook.
Fifteen: Travelling to school in the dark - this only happens as it gets very close to Christmas. I can't believe just how close we are!
Sixteen: Judith got a lovely surprise when one of her pupils read a story they had written and wanted to share with her.
Seventeen: Being able to share Stempster with The French Family. I was so excited, I made them leave everything in the car so I could go in at the same time as them.
Eighteen: Standing back to look at the conservatory after I'd given it a clean and tidy. I'm very pleased with the result - it just oozes Christmasness!
Nineteen: Today we got a Christmas card addressed to "Dear Neighbour". We live in such a friendly place!
