We have snow on the mountains! Not all of them, but there's a dusting on the highest.
I'm expecting more next week ❄️
Two shots of the mountains from the road, and third is view from my gate just now

I've actually finished! 12 packs for little kids! I was told 10 kids coming round but then started fretting "What if there's 11 and 1 gets left out"
I upset myself so much at the thought I bought another big bag, tipped all the others out and made 12. Here they are in their little Halloween bags 🎒

I've added us to the list of where little kids can come. My knees are paying a price 🤣
Never mind! Little kids always welcome. I'll hopefully recover before they all land

As an aside, I'm currently gripped by this. I'm sure I'm several years late to the discussion, but what a great book! I haven't finished it yet, so please, no spoilers

Last set of photos of #AuroraBorealis from my garden. I tried a video of the #NorthernLights but it was rubbish without the camera delay. Maybe in a few weeks

We have #AuroraBorealis tonight! Quite the light show from the #NorthernLights 😁
Best show so far since we moved to the North West corner of Scotland. As autumn progresses, I hope they'll get better 👍

Hope so! Whilst I do have a tendency to wander offline for a few days at times (there's only so much stupidity i can absorb), I don't blank my old friends. I'm only fretting because I can't confirm it's spam t-shirts for sale 🤣
On another note, I thoroughly recommend these 4 Gardner books 👍

He wrote a book not long before he died. Autobiography isn't really my thing, I'm usually bored by the 3rd chapter, but it was surprisingly entertaining. Details his year in France after leaving South Africa
