I’ve been sitting looking at the weather today trying to decide whether to go for a walk or not (R is away at a conference). Every time it looks nice and I decide to go out, it suddenly deteriorates and is pouring with rain five minutes later. I eventually went out to walk round the […]
Just got back from my parents’ house where we had a very nice New Year (apart from the horrible hangover I had on the morning of Jan 1st after badly mixing my drinks on New Year’s Eve). It was bitterly cold driving back today, but there were spectacular views over Loch Ken and then the […]
When we got up this morning (unusually late for us as it is currently so dark in the mornings) there was no sign of Schrodi. Our estimate was that he had been out since about 5am – which was at least four hours and very unusual in the middle of winter. So we went out […]

I made this Christmas Pie yesterday – it is Paul Hollywood’s “Leftovers Pie” which is supposed to be for using up any leftover turkey, stuffing, sausages etc. This was done in advance though because I am very concerned about storm Barbara which is supposed to hit us over the festive period – and specifically about […]

This was another beautiful loch view from a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the weather today is nothing like as nice – looks as though we have a storm coming in from the West.
