Corn Fields

This wizened corn field seemed like a good idea for some outfit pics at the time but looking at them now the dead stalks seem a little vine-like – as though they’re trying to wind themselves around my limbs and entrap me! It’s really nice being back in the countryside though for a bit after the last couple of months in Glasgow. So I’ll take a scraggly wild corn field as a backdrop to pictures any day over a concrete jungle.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. I have some pics of mine coming soon. I spent the main part of it with my husband’s family making it my first Christmas away from home. I have to admit it was a little strange –like a parallel-world Christmas. My husband’s mum pulled out all the stops though to make me feel really at home – there was even a Santa stocking by the stove with my name on it which was a lovely touch. I got so many lovely presents – from books to clothes to lots of baking-themed goodies which puts a bit of a spanner in the New Year’s healthy eating works but oh well.

So did Santa bring anything nice to any of you?
