think the tree loves me too

I'm back! I was away all week on a work trip, which was very tiring - really long hours - but so interesting. I learned a lot. One thing I didn't do so much was get outside so yesterday on the way into town yesterday I gave the trees in the park a damn good hug. It's really cold now & we are forecast snow later, yippee.

The capsule I did worked quite well -

At the last moment I swapped out the long boots for another pair of ankle boots, as the long ones didn't fit in my case, and on the days I was swapping hotels this would be a pain. One day's outfit was completely accidental due to my having to swap hotels, the stuff I packed in a rush didn't exactly 'go' together but I had some unexpected compliments. Fashion lesson learned there. I'll recreate that outfit in the next week.

Another thing I didn't do last week was go online at all apart for work. So as well as a news blackout, I missed all my bloggers. Really looking forward to a proper catch-up over the next few days.

On Saturday Mr Squirrel & I went to a Christmas craft & art fair in our city. We went last year and were so pleased to see lots of recently-graduated students selling their work - there was so much energy. This year was exactly the same! As well as some gifts and cards, we bought ourselves a lovely print of (I think) the artists' dog, see link to her webpage here, it is no 8 - Daisy. The dog's nose seems to poke out of the frame :-) Walking into our back room and seeing it make me smile every time.

I have to say it has been, for reasons I can't post, a challenging few weeks. So coming a little late to some of my overseas bloggers posts on Thanksgiving & being thankful - just to say - I really appreciate the support I have in my life, both offline but also online.

Looking forward to catching up!
