Chaffinch

I met this rather fluffed up chaffinch on my chilly but beautiful outing this morning.  I don't think I'd call him grumpy but he did amuse me and gave me the most peaceful slice of my day.

As for the rest of it, my rather inadequate little house has definitely been overfull, with four adults, three dogs and two children.  Unlike the adults, the dogs and children were small, but that didn't make it any easier - rather the reverse in fact!  However, we survived and in good form and in the afternoon J and I walked Hazel, Bram and Toby, though not the kids.

Am I any nearer being ready for Christmas?  Well I wrote a few lists.  Tomorrow I'm going to have to be more pro-active.

Hope all's going well with you.  Take care and have a great evening  xx
