I'm hoping to get the organisation and execution of buying presents out of the way soon so we can relax and enjoy the season without the pestering niggle of having to keep thinking of things for people. C has mastered the art of baking mince pies from scratch - yes, making his own mincemeat and pastry. We bought a teeny holed tray for bitesize pies and I have to say they are utterly divine.








We saw four buzzards in the skies who seemed not to mind each other's company. I hoped they would fly low overhead so I could take a good snap as my prime lens hasn't a chance at long distance but this was the best achieved. Two buzzards then landed in the hedgeline, one one a nest.


The colourmix!



There's plenty to do this weekend but as always, aiming to get outside and make the most of any dry weather for a walk somewhere peaceful.

Are you feeling festive yet?

Take care,
Sophie
