Birthday cakes, rainbows and icy walks

I had a lovely late birthday cake made by 11yod - carrot cake which I really love, with cream cheese icing coloured green.  It was very much appreciated.

                                           

B left on Sunday afternoon and then I took 23yos to the train station on Monday afternoon for his journey north back up to uni in Aberdeen.  On the way to the train station there was all kinds of weather - snow, sleet, rain, sun and a marvellous rainbow

Yesterday just before lunch 11yod and I went for our weekly brisk walk together. It is lovely to have some time just the two of us and we do the lovely river walk for 40 minutes which made around 2.5 miles as it was quite icy yesterday.  It got really cold so we had to wrap up warm.

  Last night Rick, 13yos, 7yos and I went to see the Christmas Pantomime which 11yod is performing in all this week.  Just off to her first music exam today - clarinet grade 2 this morning and piano grade 3 this afternoon. 11yod really has a crazy week this week!  7yos has his choir concert this afternoon - all go!!!
