I have done this hill about 10 times now and have never seen the view from the top. Today was no different but it was nice to be out.

Got white puddings delivered for Christmas presents. They got left with a neighbour. Got home and my husband said that 2 wee toots I teach on a Friday brought them over for me. He said they were very determined they were to get to me and he had to promise to hand them over!

The temperature was -2 when I left for work. When I arrived 10 minutes later, it was 5 degrees. Quite a shift. It then rained all day without pause.
