Every Christmas I hand Daisy a jigsaw puzzle and off she goes.

Monster has a keen interest and apparently vaguely rearranges it at night!

Ted, (who “does not do men”) has a new best friend.  Mum would’ve been thrilled to see him like this.  He is a very changed dog.

This afternoon, we all piled into the car and I drove us to Lerwick. Continuing with our Christmas traditions, we introduced our guest to the “Royal Ballet 2023/24 Season: The Nutcracker” film.

It was excellent and we are all just home again with me having a spent a blissful afternoon not worrying about the ponies and the amount of work I would have to do later now there are three of us.  When we opened the shed door, the old ladies trotted inside for their rather late tea. Anyway, once home we got everything done in record time.

Christmas is finally happening and I am beginning to relax.
