The forecast is wild for today.
This morning took me by surprise. I’d slept for 8.5 hours again which was so lovely. It was quiet outside. There was no wind. The sky looked clear. Nothing like the forecast expected.
I felt amazing this morning. All bright eyed and bushy tailed.
I took the Borders for a walk up the hill and it was lovely. Freezing cold, getting light but lovely.
This is our lovely village with the bright moon above it.
Spot the kitten!
There are always farm cats or kittens in here. We walked past and the puppers didn’t even notice.
I spotted this deer staring at us.
The puppets didn’t even notice!
I love the colours in this next photo but unfortunately it means the rain has already hit and it keeps coming.
This is our lovely village on the way back.
Here we are at the village Christmas tree! Thanks to the Gateside Plant Centre for giving it to the village and well done to Rachel two doors down for putting the lights on it!!
I was soaked by the time I got home! And freezing…
Hot shower and back out to the little gift shop for 3 hours. Gayle was open from 10-1 and we had lots of lovely customers in!
So that’s a wrap on my working for 2024…. Unless the little gift shop is incredibly busy over the next few days!
I’ve had such a lovely time there this weekend. All of the customers are lovely and I love getting to see everyone again.
We got blown down the street when we left. It’s wild now!
I really randomly started crocheting again last night.
I’d bought some wool in the Cancer Research shop last week, to make some baby blankets.
I ALWAYS crochet in granny squares and for some reason yesterday, I changed the stitch and I love it!
So I’m about to pick that back up again. I’m a bit addicted… again. 😆
I’m watching a kids movie called “That Christmas” and how’s this for a quote…
Christmas is a bit like an emotional magnifying glass. If you feel loved and happy, Christmas will make you feel even happier and more loved. But…. if you feel alone and unloved, the magnifier gets to work and makes all those bad things bigger and worse.
Wow, kids movies really do have a a way of saying it as it is, don’t they?!?

When you’re crocheting and you have dogs…. Bhruic is that blob on my knees!
So we’re off into the pub at 4pm for a village Christmas get together.
I’m wearing the hat so I don’t need to wash my hair.
We’re having a Christmas quiz and we are the Toastie Corner as we are next to the fire!
We won the quiz for the second year in a row!!! This is me saying to Craig, for god sake will you just take the photo already 😆😆😆
The wine is obviously not mine 😆
Stay safe everyone 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼
