It's almost time for #Scratchvent!
Rather than buying an advent calendar, we have been influenced by @quizzydan.bsky.social to buy 25 scratchcards instead.
It makes you the talk of the local village shop and completely puts you off gambling the rest of the year.
Maybe 2025 is our year!

I've seen so many photos of incredible culinary accomplishments today so balancing it out with my "post-natural disaster" gingerbread house.

Eight years since my husband officially topped all other Christmas presents.
And eight years since Nox shuffled out of the carrier, had a quick sniff and immediately decided H's lap was the place to be.
