We had an extraordinarily late night on Hogmanay at the Ceilidh Place followed by a few drama of whisky back at the cottage, so we all had a long lie on the first morning of 2026, emerging in due course to drink coffee and eat lots of toast and butter.
The snow arrived in the afternoon, but not very heavily, leaving only a thin layer on the ground and alternating with hailstones. Some of us went out for bracing walks, some read and played cards. We had our New Year’s meal at about 4.30 p.m. and it went very well. We had very full tummies and had a relaxing evening.
Today Ally and Cat were both working and James and I went for a walk down to the village with Davie and Chanel. It was snowing gently, and we had a look at the boat in the harbour before having filled rolls for lunch in the Ceilidh Place. Later on, we had a cozy afternoon of playing cards, watching the film Matilda the Musical, and having chilli con carne for dinner. A cozy and pleasant evening by the fire ensued. When James and I were getting ready for bed we heard voices outside so we looked out of our bedroom window; Ally and Cat were in the garden, laughing in the blizzard of snow! Cat even lay down to make a snow angel! Oh to be young!
