We had a lovely Christmas Day with friends and family this year. After Iain and I got the car de-iced we headed off for a quick stop to see Mairi and John and wee ones before heading off with Mairi (John kindly offered to hold the fort for us) to have drinks with Maggie and Bryan and family/guests.
The path to their gate to the front door was a scene from a Christmas card!
Maggie's garden always is a joy to the eye and no more so than when it is showing its winter berries next to her pot which normally has a colourful display in growing season.
Everyone was pleased to that Iain is recovering from his fall last June. That, combined with the presence of the newly engaged couple made for a jolly mid-day gathering. J's parents had traveled north with some English champagne (which must be called 'sparkling wine') which they can buy easily as they live on the Kent-Sussex border where it is produced. Apparently in blind tastings it rates highly against French champagne. Very nice! ... and was just lovely with Maggie's savoury selection hot from her kitchen. Mairi enjoyed meeting up with the young ones and admiring J's diamond engagement ring.
But look what we saw when we left the house mid afternoon to return to John back at base camp - 4 deer standing on the edge of Milngavie Road (opposite Mosshead Road junction) obviously hungry and a little bewildered.While Iain who was driving waited for a gap in the traffic I simply held up my iPhone and ... I am amazed at the clarity of this shot. The drips on the windscreen, the marks on the road and finally the 4 deer are ALL in focus!
