WINTER SUNLIGHT

It is very clear and sunny but very cold. The days are getting longer which means the early morning sun comes into the kitchen now.

Frost on the outside window which faces east. The sun is rising over the roof-top of a neighbour's house.

ELLIE'S 4th BIRTHDAY - GRANDCHILDREN ROUND-UP

Wee Ellie is 4 years old. Ishbel has just turned 12 years old and Alastair is about to be 11 years old.  That leaves Harriet who is 5 and Indy who is 7.

In July last year Indy had a holiday 'back east' i.e. Florida and Washington DC. We got a lovely book about his holiday that his Auntie Dandy put together. Ishbel and Harriet are enjoying the many photographs and descriptions of the places he visited.
