Last year we lost our Harley. This shampoo was formulated for him, it's soft and gentle, just like Harley. Today we've relaunched it in his honour. Love you Harley 🌈

This wee one is delighted to be the 1st Kitty Christmas Fairy of the Little Bird's history ❤️
She is still a wip but she should be ready later today.

A beautiful, chilly start to the week on Loch Long in Argyll Scotland 🌅

Temps hovering around 0° but should warm up to a massive 6° later 🥵 😂

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday 💙

It's been getting a bit nippy here for the past week, (down to -1 tonight), so surprised to see some flowers still blooming today.
They must be tougher than they look 😊
And tougher than us. We had a very short walk down to the river today ❄️
Borage, Corn Marigold, Cornflower and Honesty 💚
#MHHSBD
A Borage flower, (bit blurry). Borage flowers are star-shaped with five petals and a black centre, (stamens) with a white base where it meets the petals. The leaves and sepals are very furry. A bright yellow Corn Marigold flower. Corn Marigolds are shaped like daisies with bright yellow centres. This one is a little bit tatty but it is November 😊 A bright blue Cornflower. Cornflowers have raggedy leaves and this one is untidier than most. A very late flowering Honesty, (they usually flower in spring/early summer). It is a little ragged with two flowers visible in a very deep pink colour. You can see some Honesty seed pods in the background. They are round green discs and you can see the large brown seeds enclosed within the pods.

Just two of my biscuity, fridge magnets. We have double biscuits (German,Belgian or Empire) and some Scottish shortbread petticoat tails. These are all around £5 and make great housewarming gifts.

The true meaning of Christmas for many small businesses: working daft hours, hoping consumerism falls in your favour, and having an increasingly dark sense of humour!

We were stacking logs earlier and looked up to find an audience on our chimney.
They weren't interested in us, just waiting for us to get out of the way so they could get to the food 😊
Something spooked them after this and they flew off.
We do love our shiny #Starlings 🖤
#MHHSBD
A group of Starlings on top of our chimney. Although they had been watching us they are all looking skywards in this photo so presumably a bird of prey was about somewhere. They look very shiny in the sunshine. The sky is a lovely deep blue showing up the lichen on our old chimney, (and a not very neat repair below the top slab)

According to accounts by the monk Bede, Cuthbert would stand in the cold North Sea for prayer. When he would emerge, otters would come to the shore to warm his feet with their breath and fur. This led to him becoming the patron saint of otters.
Art my own.

Even when the wins feel small, the effort you put in builds something bigger.

Consistency beats perfection — and with Versla’s fair, low-pressure model, you’ve got room to grow on your terms.
