As has become our custom over the last few years we don’t send out Christmas Cards. Instead we donate a similar amount to what we would spend on cards and postage to Charity – this year it is Marie Curie Cancer Care. We also create a dodgy Christmas Email card…
Blizzards in Edinburgh!
For the first time in ages I didn’t cycle to work and got the bus instead. It had been blowing a gale (I nearly put gail – thats a completely different article for a completely different website!!!) through the night but looked quite bright when I finally dragged myself out…

Sunrise/Sunset in Edinburgh

Halloween sculptures
