Winter’s Chill

Do not be fooled by this photo. It was taken after I thought to go for a walk round the policies in the sunshine. I was just a few steps into the walk when I realised it was perishingly cold in a strong wind straight from the polar regions, feeling in fact every bit like the - 6° my phone recorded. I cut corners and scurried back home. Now that I’ve aborted my walk, and the house feels cold too , there’s the temptation to eat some of my food parcel from Son#1 and also I have a big bottle Irish Cream staring me in the face from the corner with the presents. I’ll have to try some diversionary tactics……….

The good news today is that WendySelkie has finally made it onto the plane  and should be home in Stromness just a day late. Weather eh?
