.. and South (extra), two shots from the garden this evening. The sky in every direction was painted in shades of mauve, pink and china blue. 

We now have some guidance from the First Minister as regards socialising around the Christmas period. I think our plans comply with what she advises. That's the good news.

Have to go now, but hopefully will catch up with Blip later tonight and maybe add a bit more here.
