11th December: Presents and Cards and Beautiful Landscapes

Picture 1: Halkirk have their Christmas lights on now - making the whole village look very joyful! 

Picture 2: Spittal also have their Christmas lights on. There was some concern locally that these wouldn't be put on, so it's great to see them shining!

Picture 3: That strange mist was back again this afternoon!

Picture 4: A lovely view at the bridge in Thurso today! 

Picture 5: Home from work and making a start on more Christmas wrapping! 

Picture 6: Detail from one of the pictures which went up on our gallery wall this year. I would love some snow!

Picture 7: Cards not quite written but it's the thought that counts 😂

Picture 8: The family portrait all ready to be put into Mum and Dad's cards!

Picture 9: Clemency busy at work on her Astronomy Degree.

Picture 10: My new (well, pretty old, actually!) stone. I set it by the fire to dry out and discovered these patterns. What do you see?

Picture 11: We got this Christmas card today - very fitting really, as we spotted three deer on the dog walk this morning. Our's were Roe Deer, though, not Red Deer!
