Going Shopping
I found this wee dandelion head in the garden (that will probably tell you something about the state of my garden lol). It was a tiny wee baby one. I've never seen one so small before, I'm not sure you could call it cute bit it kinda was :) - I know, I'm daft. Anyway I liked it, so as with anything that I like the look of, I took a picture of it.
This morning Emma had an away game for hockey and had to get the bus at 7.40am. Well, she slept in and didn't wake up till 7.30 - you can probably imagine the huge rush. She was all dressed and ready in time when she discovered it had been cancelled. Aaaargh!!!! It was cancelled due to the weather which is awful, torrential rain, howling winds and it is cold. Give me snow anytime. I woke up in the middle of the night and wind was really blowing hard.
I'm hoping to do some Christmas shopping today - yup I'm making a start. No clue what I am buying for anyone but I've got to start. I'm going to Silverburn shopping centre which is an indoor shopping area (ideal for bad weather days) near Glasgow. I'm hoping to go early to beat the rush - which there is bound to be. I like to shop when it is quiet. Emma is coming with me as she want's a new dress for her school Christmas party. We will see how we get on - wish me luck!!!!

We have just come out of a ten year drought - rain seems like a novelty to my kids. And I agree about snow - always liked it as kid!

Too bad about your daughter's rushing only to find that the game was cancelled. Did she crawl back in bed?? I would have!
Hope you have a great day of shopping!
Good luck with Christmas shopping! I am also going Chistmas shopping today and will also need some luck with that.
i love the top photo of your tiny dandelion! it is delightful!!!
We, also, had stormy/crazy windy weather here yesterday...Finland and Scotland must be connected on some level ;)
Hope your shopping was as restful as it could be; I always have really good intentions on starting early, but I seem to get caught in the rush no matter what!
I was born in the deep dark south west - Somerset - but moved to Northumbria, Cumbria and Yorkshire when I was about 19. Rather liked the North of England. Moved to Australia over 15 years ago. Strange when you just put it down like that! Spent more than a few weeks in Scotland - winter, summer, anytime really.
