Yes, it does help the atmosphere along, a bit of snow..... mind you, can't say the same for those folks stuck at London Airport until Boxing Day, because of the fog delays......
Here's hoping that Christmas for all of us around the SRGC goes rather better..... hope all is organised and ready to go for a lovely time...

Christmas Greetings to all my fellow forumists .... and to all you lurkers ;)

Warming up here so no white Christmas  :( :(

We'll be enjoying a family Christmas - even without the snow.  I hope all of you have as much fun.

Merry Christmas everybody. Enjoyed a wee sing at Gleneagles Hotel followed by fantastic fireworks at 6.30 p.m. and then saw in Christmas Day at Dunblane Cathedral's watchnight service.

Christmas Day is winding down here now. It's after 8pm and Roger has gone off to see some of his family members and I'm doing dishes, well, will be in a few minutes, accompanied by a beautiful CD from my sister, of Beethoven's late piano sonatas. We went to the midnight service at Knox Church last night so we weren't in any great hurry to get up this morning.

Dinner (at 3pm) was very good (look who cooked it :) and though the morning and early afternoon were deliciously warm, with a very light breeze, clouds started to gather around 1pm. As we sat down outside, to eat, and poured some wine, the first thunder clap came, followed quickly by enormous rain drops so we retired into the house very quickly and ate at the table after all.

It's still raining off and on, which is fine by me. When the disc is finished I'll take a new book and go to bed to get ready to start some serious potting tomorrow.

I've had quite a lazy and relaxed day, and enjoyed every minute of it. I hope all of you in the north, enjoy your Christmas too. My beautiful (15 year old) grand-daughter gave me this delightful gift.

Happy Christmas everyone.

I have been up for 2 hours and am still waiting for the rest of the household to wake.  I think it may be time to turn the telly up louder!...

Best wishes to all

Hmmm. I was rudely woken by my son James (aged 11) at 7 a.m.. :-\ Could have done with another hour or four in bed. :(

Heard a disturbance in the night and managed this grainy pic. Can't make out the make of vehicle, but the number plate looks familiar?

Merry Christmas, one and all from Carol & David in sunny Moray.
Last night was frosty and bright with a full moon. Looked out of the window about 2:30am and the scene was magical - no reason for Santa to get lost this year.
It is now a perfect day for a walk before the indulgances begin.

Merry Christmas to all forum chums.

Today is mild and misty with just a little sun breaking through. Two days ago it was very frosty and I took this little Sax frozen solid.

As long as Santa's sacks didn't get frozen!
