Snow in the Highlands!

Strange old country isn't it. last week we were warm and in our lighter clothes, this week we are back with fires and warmer layers. When he brought up the coffee this morning, Vin said he had been watchibng a bit of the news and weather. There was a lady reporter up in Scotland who was standing ovverlooking a motorway, all wrapped up, and snow covering her face..she was saying that last week she was on the beach in Aberdeen eating an ice cream..Weird. it rained here this morning, but the pots in the garden can do with that, Vin said they are very dry, and as I type this it is sunny, but cold. Vin has been out to wash the back window which a bird had used for target practice, and he said it was really cold. Doesn't look it though.
Stopped in today, and this morning we cleared ut the freezer, since the bins are due tomorrow so a good chance to get rid of stuff. Surprising how much there is to clear out actually, bits left from Christmas, and lots of bits of bread, that gets put in there and not used. The birds will like that.Wanted to clear it out a bit before Jane comes home so we can put some stuff in for her. She has just rung up actually, and given me some ideas of what she wants..so we will have some shopping to do. A few things that we don't normally buy, like strong cheddar cheese, we don't get a lot of cheese any more. While we were talking on the phone there were a lot of sirens in the background..she said it looked like a bad smash, and she could see two cars badly bashed up. trouble for someone there.


Little Rusty is more settled today, and much better in herself. She definitely wasn't herself yesterday, but she is a lot better today, thank goodness.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn cornish pasties from our cleared out freezer
Mushroom gravy
Carrots peas and beans.
