Yesterday, we were thrilled to release a pair of beavers into Forestry and Land Scotland’s Loch Morlich. This is an exciting step in establishing a wild population in the Spey catchment, under licence from @naturescot.bsky.social, realising the vision set out in Scotland’s Beaver Strategy. 1/4

Friends! Look what has come up! It’s our Magic Hyacinth! Mum says it is magic because she didn’t plant it, but it comes up on our doorstep every year, bigger and stronger than the year before. And it smells heavenly! #SpringWatch

Friends! We haven’t shared a #ThrowbackThursday video for AGES, and with all the New Sofa Shenanigans going on, it seems a good time to remember that, from Day One, Baby Dog taught the Triplets everything they know about Sofa Shenanigans. This is from their first week with us 🤎🧡🤎

This is an older box of mine but I still like it! I am pleased how the gold wash shimmers over the green background reflecting the gold of the Paisley brooch. Available at my Etsy shop, “Sign of the Elephant” signoftheelephant.etsy.com/listing/1195... #handcrafted #trinketbox #recycledjewellery

A small green box sits with the lid leaning against it, showing the velvet lined interior. The lid is decorated with a gold Paisley shaped brooch with red stones, on 3 green leaves against a red and gold painted disc

As promised, here’s another of my boxes! This one is called “The Tree of Life” due to the central medallion being a tree motif with a tiny heart (donated by my SIL). Available from my Etsy shop signoftheelephant.etsy.com/listing/4351... #handcrafted #keepsakebox #trinketbox

A small box has its lid leaning against it showing off the decoration of a white disc with mossy dark green paint, a central metal frame supporting a round tree of life panel.

So this year I’m going to be brave & showcase the trinket boxes I decorate. First up is this dramatic black, silver & pink box, perfect for storing recent gifts! Sales through my Etsy shop Sign of the Elephant signoftheelephant.etsy.com/listing/4373...

The lid of a box is angled upright leaning against the box base which is on its side so you can see the bright pink lining. The box lid is decorated with a central silver metal flower surrounded by diamonte stones in a square, a silver filigree frame is around the top side edge and on the sides is a band of diamonte stones and bright pink ribbon matching the interior. The box is painted glossy black all over

Friends! It’s the 3rd Day of Christmas! We had lots of family here for lunch yesterday so the extension went on the table and the tablecloth came out. This always causes Great Excitement and Mum has a Terrible Time trying to lay the table. I tried not to join in the sabotage, but I couldn’t help it!

Friends! Our brilliant New Game has inspired Mum to get some Old Games out of the cupboard, as DISTRACTION from the Christmas Tree seems to be the way forward. Who remembers this one? There are Treats in the top. It flummoxed the Triplets, but luckily I was there to help!

Friends! Mum put up the Christmas Tree with ‘help’ from everyone. Part of Mum’s ‘Operation Christmas Tree’ is to have a day with it up but with no decorations, so that the Triplets can perhaps get the Exploration and Climbing out of their systems. It might work… 🎄#Caturday

Friends! After kicking off #BedGate again yesterday, Baby Dog continues to be awkward. Here, he has managed to secure the Favourite Sofa Spot, but not with enough room to lay down. If it was Cleo and Percy in the way, he might shove them off, but it’s Ron and me. He’s in a dilemma! 😹

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
