Still in hibernation






















The early days of 2015 have been quiet ones for us here. Its all about the weather - gales, snow, hail and oh - so cold. I get outside every day if I can, even if it is a quick dash down to the pier with Mick, dodging the stinging hailstones that come scattering  over the hills. Then it is back home - a warm drink by the fire, a spot of crafting, a filling meal.

Not much has been happening, really, so I haven't had anything to post. Still, it's February now and the evenings are definitely getting lighter, reminding me that the busy-ness of the long daylight will soon be here. Hmmm - I think it is time to throw another peat on the fire and enjoy just a wee bit more of this hibernation. xx

  1. Can you believe today was 65 degrees here, the trees are budding and the snow I have been wishing for has a 50% chance of arriving on Friday?! Enjoy your cold, winter days.

  5. hibernating is very much the order of the day! we're under seige from a winter storm and from what i saw of the snow and heard of the wind when i let the dogs out just now, i don't think we'll be going too far today!

    i just spotted a book in your sidebar -- Callanish by William Horwood -- i LOVED the Duncton Wood books..so naturally my curiosity is piqued!!

    hunker down, i say....the best part of winter is the forced quietude...something i seem to forget to treasure sometimes.

  8. Here on the Canadian prairies we are once again into the bitter, frigid temperatures. I send you some warmth and a cup o'tea over the cyber-waves! :) Keep warm and cosy!

  10. Jacqui, with those dramatically beautiful surroundings I can tell why you'd be drawn outdoors for a walk, despite the weather. It also seems a perfect way to gain additional appreciation for the warmth to be found at home...indoors by the fire.

    Each photograph is a beauty! xo
