Final sunrise of 2009

31 December, 2009 by Stonehead 9 Comments

When the sun rose to start the final day of 2009 it shone over hedges and fields shrouded in the last, genuinely heavy, snowfall of the year as well. It was an appropriate way to tend the year on the croft—cold and hard but still bright.

Best wishes for 2010: may all your piglets grow fat and all your customers show up and nobody come from the council to bother you all year.

Happy New Year

Lovely picture. I love to see snow but don’t really relish dealing with life when it is around. (Getting a bit old for all the extra work it produces!)
Hope 2010 isn’t as frustrating as 2009 was in some areas!

Best wishes to all at the croft for 2010!

Do people still do first-footing?

  Yes, but not out our way. We’re more than two miles from the village and I’m fairly sure we were the only household, out of the five near us, that was at home last night.
