Dreich day!

Had a hell of a night with Ruaridh, we let him into our room and he was up and down for ages, eventually we must have all crashed out 'cause it was 0930h when I awoke. Up fed the dog and let him out, early morning cuppa then delt with some business issues. Made breakfast had porridge tasted delicious haven't had it for about two months. Had a wash, then as Graham had to wait for a business call The Wonder Dog and moi set off for the woods.
It was a dreich day as we strode out--we met neither man nor beast --I lie on the short trek into the woods we were almost eyeball to eyeball with two roe deer. They were as surprised as us, one leapt gracefully away the other was chased by the wonder dog but as usual managed to get away.
At times we were blown along by the wind, at others the more gentle wind whispered amongst the trees, the mist surrounded us, at times lifting to reveal her secrets!
On the downward track we saw two kestrals flying above the treetops. Ruaridh had a couple of adventures but eventually came when I called, almost home and we met Graham on the track.
Late lunch boiled eggs and homemade bread with a big cuppa lovely.
Did some knitting this afternoon spoke to Layla still not sure what wee Miss B has, spoke to mum she is on a winning streak the latest a food hamper!
Graham made a delicious Minestrone soup for dinner followed by tinned salmon sandwiches and another big cuppa. Going to attempt to make the Christmas stars tonight! Bye.
