here’s a photo i’ve been saving since july. it’s my christmas gift to you dear reader.
this couple very kindly let me take their photo in a scottish shopping centre. i suspect they might get asked this a lot as they instantly struck up this catalogue model pose.
they belong to the Clan Colquhoun (i wrote this down so i wouldn’t forget) and were totally lovely people !
they made me smile and i hope they do the same to you on this jolliest of days.

can you believe i haven’t posted this sign ? it’s a very common one and very similar to this (although the arms is at a different angle)

my brother in law and i went to do some last minute shopping on christmas eve for our wives (we’ve one each). we were sent to buy skewers.
if we were after a turkey, it would have been too late …

a pile of chocolateless advent calendars

you may remember a two and half months back i gave up chocolate bars. well it’s all been going very well and i’m very pleased with myself.
to celebrate the fact i’m now on holiday for nearly two weeks i decided i will allow myself chocolate over the Xmas period.
so, how would i break myself back in to chocolate ? i couldn’t go straight back to my king sized mars bars. this seemed like a nice compromise. and so it was.

the one on the right turned out to be esther’s so i had to go back out in to the street and retrieve it (luckily it wasn’t too far from our house)
