I love honesty boxes and always stop when I see one. This is my all-time favourite, near Applecross 😄
More winter magic. Rain, but with the occasional dry snowflake. How do they manage not to get wet on the way down?
There's not a cloud in the sky on this cold, still and sunny day, and yet there are tiny snowflakes falling. Winter magic ❄️

Everywhere is thick with frost and sparkling in the sunlight. I defrost the car windows, climb in, then drive away, trailing a cloud of glittering diamond dust behind me

Bertie had been waiting over an hour for his owl to return and he was starting to lose the feeling in his arm.

As I wrap paper around a Christmas present and stick it with tape, the repeat pattern matches exactly. It makes me grin with satisfaction

The window display in a charity shop is a camp fire, complete with flickering flames from artificial candles. Either side are two mannequins, lifting their kilts to warm their nether regions

A man in the supermarket has a very long Christmas tree in his trolley, pointy end forward. It emerges from the end of the aisle like the bowsprit of a sailing ship

People say it rains a lot in Scotland. This is generally true, but it does depend where you are. It's been a pretty dry year here and our local reservoir at Backwater, Glen Isla is still 11 metres down!

A woman carrying a toddler walks into a cafe and puts the little girl down while she orders. The child breaks free from her Mum's hand and runs towards one of those life size guide dog collection boxes, boops the dog on the nose then flings her arms around it

Two jackdaws fly through a ray of early morning sunlight and are momentarily gilded. A bald man walks through the same sunbeam, his head shines like a golden egg

Just saw a woman carrying one of those insulated travel mugs that was so big I honestly thought she'd brought her kettle with her 😳

Autumn leaves have fallen from a row of trees making a puddle of colour around every trunk, as if each one has just shimmied out of it's leafy dress and let it fall to the floor

The coal tits are busy stashing sunflower seeds for the winter, tucking them into nooks and crannies all over the garden. I collect the seeds from the sunflowers that inevitably appear each summer and tip them into the bird feeder. I wonder if they know they're growing their own food 😁

Just watched a huge vee of geese flying overhead. Suddenly they bunched up and bumbled about in a confused mass before sorting themselves out and setting off back in the direction they came from. They must have left the oven on or something 😳

Mary got some little lambs
She'd really wanted kittens
At least there'd be some nice lamb chops
And also woolly mittens

I was just in the pasta aisle in Tesco and, I kid you not, there was a man with a feather in his hat getting macaroni
