jelly belly

merry boxing day everyone! i trust you all had a lovely christmas?

i did!

we drove up to my auntie's house just outside edinburgh, & it was amaaaaazingly snowy up there!

myself & the father made this rather wonderful snowman.

his name is ernie, and he is very pleased to meet you.

oh, and that thing on top of his head is a pair of earmuffs.

opening the presents was fun too, although it was later than expected as we spent too long eating & playing musical crackers!

i pretty much got my weight in jelly beans (yum to the max)

and an *WARNING: extreme artist paroxysms of delight coming up* absolutely gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous set of new chalks!

*cue hallelujah chorus*
seriously, aren't they just beautiful?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh i love them so much!
today i found this AWESOME hat in one of my auntie's spare rooms

makes me feel like a bit like a russian explorer.

unfortunately, it was my cousin's so i couldn't keep it =( so i'll have to battle my way through the crowds & see if i can pick one up in the january saaaales.
