Blustery

... to say the least.  Storm Elin has been blowing a hooley all day, although it has been incredibly mild with a temperature in the low teens in Centigrade (though it feels colder in the wind).  After the morning's downpours things brightened up for a while for the last few hours of the day.

The tree is now up, but not decorated - that's a job for tomorrow I think.  It is due to be wet again tomorrow so dealing with the tree will be a useful indoor task.  Cathy's been busy making more mince pies today (hurrah) unaccountably the last batch got eaten in double quick time this week.  I do like a nice home made mince pie :-)))
