My kids reckon they were reared on lentils - burgers, pie, stew, etc - but I reckon you can't beat a bowl of homemade lentil soup on a winters day! 😋😋 #spèirgorm #soup #winterwarmers

I know that in the grand scheme of things it's hardly earth shattering, but when your wee doggie is too poorly to be interested in treats, it's heartbreaking. She's seen the vet, so hopefully feeling better soon. #dogsoftwitter #spéirgorm

Poor Pippin did herself a bit of a mischief last week jumping into the car. She pulled a muscle in her back leg. She's not herself at all, at all. She's on some meds just a week now, but I'm so not ready for her to be a poorly doggie who can't run, jump and play. #dogsofbluesky #spéirgorm
