The main focus of medieval reindeer illustrations was most definitely their multiple horns as in this 13th century image from the "Liber de natura rerum" by Thomas de Cantimpré (1201-c1272). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #reindeer #reindeers

More rain showers - this could be the first December in 11 years when we have achieved the expected rainfall.

The sheep are made from wax by a gentleman in town, who had made an enormous wax crib diorama occupying a whole wall of one room in his house.

One grey morning the first snow began to fall in Moomin Valley. It fell softly and quietly, and in a few hours everything was white. Moomintroll stood on his doorstep and watched the valley nestle beneath its winter blanket.

And there she hangs, on the kitchen wall above the place I prepare the food. I'm sure she's judging my cooking 😆

We need to know who keeps ordering all this snow. You're not in trouble, we just need to know for, uh... for our records. ❄️

Panda's first moments here. Those two idiots with him had spent a week on unscheduled holiday in our neighbour's fields, and when he brought them back they had a stowaway with them...

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

A squirrel emptying my squirrel proof bird feeder. I can't blame them, it is frigid out there. The mate is on the ground below the post collecting seeds.
