It’s all been a bit samey really. Ady’s been working down in the village on the SNH hostel in the mornings which means he doesn’t get back until a very late lunch o’clock. By the time that is finished we only have 2 hours at most of daylight left. We have been using them for stuff like chopping firewood, chasing sheep about, putting in some trees. I’m a bit fed up generally, must be my November funk. I’ve done lots of gift making, on the final Secret Santa / birthday gifts / Christmas presents / commissions for various things just now. Pretty good going for not even December yet. I’ve also made a good start on the kids blankets which is a nice project.
On Saturday we went up the opposite hill to the croft and chose Christmas trees. We found two suitable ones so on Sunday Ady, Scarlett and I went and cut them down and brought them back to the croft. Still not sure which one we’ll use – we’ll find another use for the second one, either give it to someone here, donate it to the village hall or bunkhouse or just stick it in the sheep pen or pig pen for festive animals! We could almost do a live nativity here this year!
That’s about it. Not much to say really. Blah.
