December the Seventeenth…………Will we ever get used to seeing a sunrise like this……….

December the Eighteenth…………..Hoodie Patrol…..Watch out….There’s Rooks about!…..

December the Nineteenth……….We put the ‘deccies up!!!!!……Yay!!!…..Including our one and only precious present….

December the Twentieth……………..Appreciating living somewhere where the air is so clean……

December the Twenty-first…………After 15 years, and gazillions of photos by Nick Card……We finally see a Stenness Loch otter!
And he’s a big one, too…..

Or is it a bear?
December the Twenty-second…………Jazzy Christmas lights………….They have me entranced………….I just stand and looook at them……..We call them the Christmas Light Pixies…….They dance around in the kitchen……..

December the Twenty-third…………………..We’re going into shops as little as possible again…….Had used up all our stamps on Christmas cards…..Ordered some from the Royal Mail, which arrived today……..The First Class ones…..Are First Class!
