bevchen – ohhh, cinnamony tea! Mmm. That might be worth sampling, actually. And if it’s crap I can just pour in some glögi.
Maureen – Yay! Glad you like it. Silly Hats are arriving in various places all over the world, and it is nice to have started this revolution.
McBouncy – You made me laugh as usual with this. You do, however, have my sympathy, as I remember the road to your house only too well – including driving along at 15mph on snow/ice one morning with you lot following me and making me feel even more nervous and flustered about going so slowly… and then later McLovely told me off for going too *fast*!?!

Winter has arrived here. It took me 75minutes (I kid you not!) to travel from Ahoghill to my house tonight!!
“Touching cloth” was an expression which could be used to describe my state by the time I got home. McLovely was also in a similiar state cause I made the mistake of phoning him to let him know I was stuck half way up a hill and was starting to slide down it again. I had to turn, drive the whole way into Ballymena and approach my house from a less hilly angel/angle?
McLovely was not helped by the fact that when he phoned for a progress report I was making AHHHH noises and claiming I would never get home….
This has not helped my argument that we do NOT need to sell my car and buy another 4wheel drive/jeep thing.
Hope your still listening in. Big hug. xx

You don’t have to worry about getting trapped in a mundane chat about the weather when you just want to stand at a wooden shelter, drinking your glögi. That sounds like my kind of wandering/shopping/drinking experience!

The Irish crafted/Estonian inspired Silly Hat has arrived and it’s lovely!! Thank you so much! We’re still into the sunny +5 degree weather around here, but I’ll be sure to snap a photo once winter actually hits Vancouver.

Your Christmas market looks very pretty. I haven’t actually been to ours yet. I’ve walked through it several times to get from the tram stop to the bank, but that doesn’t count. With all the plans I have for the next few weeks I’m starting to wonder if I’ll actually get a Glühwein at the Christmas market this year (that’s the German equivalent of mulled wine in case you hadn’t guessed).

Oh, and the Christmas tea here has some kind of “christmassy” herbs in. Not sure what though. Cinnamon? OK, that’s a spice but you know what I mean…
