Anyway, a few photos from around home and what I've been up to so far this December.
This has been a familiar scene everyday:
Pleeeeease take us for a walk!
Which of course I do, no matter what the weather. Because I love them so much! I try to take the camera and snap a few shots, in between throwing sticks and chasing them around. These are few things I photographed:
Red berries
Holly Berries
Blackberries!
The berry photos were all taken a couple of weeks ago (very late blackberries and fairy-blasted no doubt) and there isn't a berry around today. Sure sign of a very cold winter!
Lovely pheasant - doesn't she blend in well?
And busy bird-feeders!
And, after all that, I come in to sit before our wood-burning stove and dry out the boots. I wish I could have pretty, flower covered, clean boots, but these ones really earn their keep!
Then there was a spot of baking, as that's something I love to do when it's cold and wet outside:
Dulche de Leche Brownie ingredients
The finished article! Notice the gooey caramel and slightly underdone centre? Yum!
Drunk with a cup of hot Earl Grey Tea.
So, that's been my December so far. Christmas is coming swiftly. I want to wish all of you a peaceful, happy and lovely Yule holiday, and I hope that you get everything that you wish for. Thank you so much for visiting my little blog all year and thank you for your lovely comments - they mean so much.
Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012, from me to you ~Siobhan xox

Looks like a lovely start to December. love your shepards. I grew up with them and miss them very much. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures.
Winter Blessings, V.
I love your boots! They're similar to the kind I use. They have personality. Much better than frilly flower boots :)
Beautiful picture of the boots and the woodstove by the way. It really spoke to me. Just says 'home'.
Have a warm and cozy December!
that looks so good! merry christmas to you as well
Gosh, I like the look of those Brownies! Yum!
Stay safe, Siobhan, happy new year! :)
Beautiful photos and your doggies are just adorable! Those brownies look absolutely scrumptious, and I'm completely craving one with coffee now!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and the very best wishes for a happy and prosperous year in 2012.

I do so hate driving on frosty roads, the gritter lorries seem to miss patches Im sure. I've had an accident on black ice, so horrible! It all felt like it was in slow motion.
Muddy boots are interesting boots, with a tale or two to tell im sure ;-) Thats just what i tell myself!
Hope you keeping warm over there x
