Raindog, loved your photo, the setting was sooooooo peaceful.
PPS, loved your painting, very impressive, your choice of colours was absolutely delightful.
Pads, I make my own Christmas Cakes too, mine are recovering from a hangover as we speak !!! (OK, write) [:)] made them in September, always make one for my daughter too. Yours looks lovely. I actually am not very fond of Christmas cake, but love making them, OH and son in law demand extra marzipan, so OK, I spoil them, almost 1 inch thick with marzipan every year, costs me a fortune, but they are worth it. [:D]

Morning Chris
Will try and find that out for you, Winter is here already, finished work at 0800 this morning, blowing Severe Gale Force 9 last night, could hardly hear myself think for the noise, thought the roof of the building was going to lift off [:'(], very busy night, made the time disappear though [:)]

Chris, the fantasy pole is amazing, [:-))]
I am not sure what type of tree it is, nor who does the carving, but can find out, I do know he stays here on the Island, he does a great job, very clever with the chainsaw. [:)]

Thank you so much, it is a lovely Island to stay on, even when the wind is blowing horizontally in a Gale Force 8, such fun trying to stand up, work can be interesting when that happens. OH laughs when I suddenly take off (mind you, he is very quick to come and help), but finds it so funny, problem is I am only little so find it hard to stay upright. Nope, nothing to do with the wine!! [;-)]
Snowing outside now!

Thanks NBD, there will be in 4 years when I retire full time to France [:D] [:D] Can't wait.

Wow, some beautiful photo's, I took this from the window in my workplace last night, it was lovely, (almost worth being at work) !! [;-)]

Thanks for all your lovely comments, here is a photo of Lews Castle, taken whilst on a walk round the castle grounds in summer, I like to look at it now and again just to remind myself that the sun does shine sometimes, here in Stornoway [:P]

Was enjoying my breakfast, Patrick, too much information. [+o(] [+o(] [:P]

Disagree with Maude, we used www.jovimmo-immobilier.com, they were brilliant, very helpful, very honest, good photo's, good communication and made the buying process so easy. [:)]

Geordie girl...... Now, how can you doing what you want and loving it be pathetic!! Glad you are enjoying life, sounds good, I am around the same stage as you, I think, can send photos now, love going out and about with the camera, and the push bike, wish I could be in France full time too instead fo having to work, but needs must, that day will come though. [:)]

Finishing work at 8am this morning, knowing that I have 4 days off now after doing 48 hours in 4 days, (OK, 2 days & 2 nights) .[:D]

Oh Wooly, that made me cry.. [:(] [:)]

Good on you, I realised over a year and a half ago that I never watched Sky, so I cancelled it, best thing I ever did, can honestly say, hand on heart that I do NOT miss it one bit, might be different if I stayed in France full time but honestly, life is better without it.
Go out more, walking, cycling, just mooching around with the camera, lovely, of course, this might just be a relief from the job but don't think so!! [:)] Best thing I ever did!!

I was born and bred in the highlands of scotland, nature really does tell a story, the bushes are filled with bright red berries, which to me means a hard winter, the birds know when to fill up enough to survive over the harsh weather, have been proved right over the years,Mother Nature knows best.!!
