The scent of pine

We have passed these Christmas trees twice today, the smell is quite intoxicating once you get right up beside them, I took in great gulps.
I’m finding quite a challenge to dog mind and take photos, although the weather has been so dreadful that without Islay I probably wouldn’t have ventured out.
The main event today has been a development with the rat situation, one rat appeared on the balcony above me. I am pretty much a lone voice in extolling thier clean lifestyle, although no one disputes their climbing skills.
