Such a wonderfully told reminiscence! So interesting to read about First Footers and find that we share the habit here, at the other end of Europe! Happy New Year!

You probably had visits from the Vikings on the islands, too! Red hair is always a giveaway - as I'm sure you know! Happy New Year, beloveds both!

Beautiful! But of course! Some day I will get up there to those northern places that call to me so strongly. But not this year. Thank you, dear E, and the very happiest things to you in 2025!
