5th December: "Happy Christmas, that can transport the traveller back to his own fireplace and quiet home" (Charles Dickens)

Coming home this afternoon, the scenery took our breath away. We'll soon be singing 'Driving Home for Christmas' - just over two weeks until the end of term!



We reached Thurso and admired the Christmas tree, complete with Santa and gnomes! Then, it was further down the road to get home before it was completely dark...




When we got home, we made an exciting discovery! Mum had been feeding the Christmas cake alcohol to make it super tipsy! And here's jars of mince meat to make one of my favourite Christmas treats: mince pies!



"Chestnuts... roasting on an open fire..." Only, in our case, it was more like 'burning on an open fire' so we'll be roasting them in the oven instead.


Merry 5th December!
