*|FNAME|*,
It’s been a bit of a grim fortnight in the Highlands with strong winds and rain culminating in a fierce storm passing last night, which blew the contents of our bins down the road. I was hoping to get out and take a few photographs to add to my calendar article, but in the end, the idea of representing Christmas in the Highlands with a picture of a soggy hillside didn’t really cut the mustard. Instead, we went for a couple of walks to keep our legs active and spent our time getting ahead of work, ready for another deep freeze.
The calendar article was a pleasure to write this month, and it was great to see the printed copies from Joe Cornish, David Ward and Charlie Waite. If you need to buy Christmas gifts for anybody, they’re well worth checking out.

Or you still have a few days left to commission your own calendar from Johnsons of Nantwich via their dedicated calendar website.
