A January treat for myself landed today, just after I'd finished carving out my second ever spoon. Quite enjoying carving and whittling away in the shed. Messy, but fun.

Little Hampden, Brickfield Road, #Stonehaven. Always has some @afc.co.uk graffiti on the army cadets' wall. It's where we scored goals for our clubs and country as kids. #jumpersforgoalposts

Strider and the hobbits reach the edge of the Chetwood and walk out into the open country. The ground here is lower than in the Bree-land behind them, and is beginning to get boggy.

Hudson, vet tells us he's to lose some weight. He's not overly happy at the 'meagre' supply of kibbles he gets before bedtime. He complains quite loudly.
