noahgibbsWe've just come home from the Edinburgh Christmas Market. It's much diminished from what we remember in 2019, but it was still a fun trip. Sichuan House was lovely Chinese food and we can't get its like in Inverness. We may need to learn to make rice noodles. The Museum of Childhood is still good and we spent a couple of hours there. The Wyrd Shop, a local witchy shop (http://wyrdshop.com/home.htm) is fun too.
We're about to start the vigorous December baking. We have an advent calendar with one baking-or-similar project every day until the winter solstice (longnight), when we'll do our usual slow-motion feast as we wait for dawn. My mother sent 80 kg (!) of flour of various kinds, so the neighbours are going to be receiving a lot of bread for awhile, plus some cookies, etc.
It's been great being home more. I'm really enjoying being around for more of what's happening with the kids. Some things are up and down, but overall, life's pretty good.
