This must be serious as today’s weather has a name! Storm Bert hits Scotland this weekend.
Most of that blue rain this morning turned to snow!
Here’s what happened outside our front door this morning over the space of an hour or so!
And the other way….
It was heavy rain when we got up and it turned to snow pretty quickly.
These photos look black and white…. It was so grey!
Craig drove me to the little gift shop as his first job cancelled and I was too scared to drive!! When did I become this big girls’ blouse?!?!
The roads were dreadful! As usual with snow in Scotland, our infrastructure grinds to a halt and it’s seems to catch everyone by surprise!
We’ve not seen a snowplough at all today… just gritters that aren’t gritting.
We made it!!
We did a little gift shop FB post to let people know we were open and we were so grateful to the people who saw the post and ventured out!

The snow turned to rain and this is what the road looked like when I left. Better buts it’s so wet and slushy.
Craig’s 2nd job cancelled too so he could come and pick me up.
We were meant to be going up to see my in-laws this afternoon and we had to cancel as they live in the snowiest place ever!! This was their garden really early on.
I had been quite stressed about this weekend as we were so busy and now I’ve had the afternoon to do some things I didn’t expect to do.
Wait for it……
I WROTE SOME CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!!
I know… I hate myself for saying it as I am not that person… oh wait… this year it would appear that I am. 😬
I’m away the next two weekends so I may as well write the ones I got today and get them posted 😆 I doubt I’ve ever written a Christmas card in November before.
I should say I’ve thought nothing about presents AT ALL…. If that makes you feel a bit better?!?
We went next door to drop a birthday present in for our neighbour…. Had a lovely coffee and a bit of (to die for) chocolate torte!!
I then do some more packing for Rome… and then decided to put some more stuff up for sale on Vinted.
I have made £52.50 this afternoon!!!!
Things were selling the minute I put them up. One person bought three things and another bought 2! I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve had a really good day.
We had to go and buy dinner as right now we should have been eating my mother in laws lovely food… so we have pizza in the oven. Yum!
So we are due to get about 10°C overnight tonight, randomly…. The snow will surely all melt and it will be positively tropical… we’ll be the throwing off the duvet after the few weeks of minus temperatures. 😆
This is Bhru last night when she’s meant to go into her room to bed 😆😆😆
She’s a cheeky pupper.
So last night I said have a lovely Saturday night… tonight is the right time to say that! 😆
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
