 Happy New Year everyone, hope you've all had a lovely Christmas, enjoy the last blog of 2020 ....

💚 💝 💚

In readiness for a day of feasting 14 of us took to the beach and went for a swim on Christmas morning

enjoying the thrill of the waves

looks like Santa's little helpers celebrating their hard work

everyone happy !

Best cup of tea of the day

and then home for a nice warm shower.

The lobster pot Christmas tree in Ullapool looked great as usual this year

well done Ullapool !

On and around the croft this month

Zara sihouetted against the loch

Tilly doesn't like to miss out on anything, even if it is only eating grass and copies her friend

waiting patiently

our geese are glad that Christmas is over for another year, although not happy about being kept in now because of avian flu

just love the shadows of the hens against the wall

Pause for thought

I love this painting by Jessica Boehman

the painting is reminding us that winter is a time of rest and reflection and reconnecting, 

 to "bring winter back to a time of kindness, love, rebirth, peace and unburdening instead of a time of dread, fear, depression and avoidance", full text by Brigit Anna MacNeill

Quotes of the month

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world"
