Living in the North of Scotland, vegan, home educating, dancing, cake eating, writing, woodland walking... no set subject matter here really though :)

These creamy white buttons make the most amazing white hot chocolate! See Cat's recipe on The Modern Housewife blog.
That photo of the colorful snow and ice-covered shrub is just exquisite, and would make a gorgeous a holiday card!
And that poppy photo is amazing!
I hope you enjoy a day of strolling down your inviting, snowy lane and then relaxing in your snug home with big mugs of delicious hot tea.
Catching up, as usual!
Great photos and I can’t get over that poppy! We still have roses, but they’re in the courtyard under a roof. Hope you don’t get snowed in. Or would you like to be???
Oh, and I meant to say that that Vegetarian Christmas book must be the only Rose Elliot I don’t have! Our beloved bread sauce recipe comes from her.
Lovely snowy pics – gorgeous hint of colour peeping through from the poppy. We haven’t had any snow yet, but my camera is at the ready just in case :O)
I do quite like being snowed in – we’ve had lots more overnight and that may be the case now. Just waiting for it to be light and then Toby and I will be off out in the woods
There are two shrubs like that in the garden, they suddenly go bright red this time of year and then just as suddenly go brown and all the leaves fall off…
Good to see you still have the Land Rover – full of character those old machines!
Did you ever have success getting it running again?
Ben.
