1) As we leave the house this morning I notice something strange about the pavements and roads – they are grey in colour, rather than black!  It takes me a moment to realise that this is because it hasn’t rained for long enough for the ground to become dry!!*

2) A walk in the Devilla Forest. We parked at the edge of the forest, walked in, round a pretty loch, and looped back round to the car. After a few initial complaints of sore legs, the kids settled in and enjoyed the walk as much as we did.

3) To take down the Christmas tree, and reclaim the space 🙂 .

* It didn’t stay that way for long, but it was nice while it lasted 🙂 .
