Some people have it, some people don't

And the it today is the ability to chose interesting presents. I don't have it at all , and all the family will wholeheartedly agree, however some people do. Charlotte A's mother is a good example. Always something different but interesting and appropriate.
Dom got this poppy from the Tower of London from her for Christmas and asked us to look after it whilst he is in his student house. Probably a good decision as it is relatively delicate. So appropriate too with DS#1's probable Army career in the future.
Still confined to barracks and doubly frustratingly so today as a rare gull has appeared on North Uist.
