I'm getting there, hunting out bits of birds butterflies, animals and plants. A few more hours and it should be done #jigsaws #jigsawpuzzles #valgoldfinch #nature

Lovely sky this frosty morning. #staffordshireskies #sunrise #nature

Inside the Factory tonight as oven chips ... I could murder a chip butty now ! Really interesting to watch how vinegar is brewed #insidethefactory

Constructive couple of hours and most of the framing and words done. My collapsible stool from Aldi came in useful, it's not very comfortable but better than standing to work on slotting it together. Next find birds and animals! #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #rspb #valgoldfinch

not really one for day time TV but on a dreary Sunday afternoon I'll have a scroll find a film. This afternoon People we Meet on Vacation. It was ok for a Sunday afternoon romcom ... kind of reminded me a bit of One Day. #PeopleWeMeetOnVacation

Nice to get out ... a visit to the Cake Shack for tea and scones. The lake was still frozen. Driving out there was a pheasant walking up the road who quickly disappeared into the hedge then two peacocks appeared ambling along! #whitmorelakes #nature #peacocks

I say it every night but what an episode of the Traitors ! The secret traitor has now gone rogue ! I was like WTF just happened there ! #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

The snow cleared and there's signs in the garden that spring is just around the corner ❤️ #spring #mygardentoday #nature #mygarden

another cracking episode of the Traitors ... just seems to get better and better ! #TheTraitors

I've been out and seen and spoken to people (other than Dad) ... civilisation wasn't wiped on NYE with some millennium Y2026 type bug, others still exist 🤣🤣 #snow ##ukweather

Inside the Factory - jammie dodgers ! Scientifically experimenting dunking biscuits ! Peter Kay was wrong ... Rich Tea biscuits are the kings of dunking and can be dunked the most amount of times - 135 times to be precise! #InsidetheFactory #PeterKay #dunking

Another snowy day means jigsaw day ... let's make some words! This is a bit like a cross between a jigsaw and a word search 🤣 #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #valgoldfinch

thought Corriedale was done well. Never watched Emmerdale so don't know stories or characters but they linked it in well with Corrie. Only wish they'd taken the opportunity to kill off Theo as well ! #Corriedale

I'm on catch-up with Corrie but loving the wedding reception and the music. Got to love a bit of Sade Your Love is King ! #Corrie

Junior Bake Off is back ... I love how enthusiastic the kids are and how talented some are ! I wish they'd get rid of Harry Hill though ! #JuniorBakeOff

That's the edge almost done. #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #valgoldfinch #nature

Sorting through my jigsaw ... my usual way is sift through find edge pieces, turn all pieces right way up and sort anything with faces or writing. There's a lot of writing in this jigsaw, had go get a bigger tray 😂 Hopefully it will make it easier do! #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #valgoldfinch

A snowy day means new jigsaw day with a brew! This is one I got from South Stack lighthouse when I visited in November. It's new so hopefully all the pieces are there! #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles ##valgoldfinch

Lovely in the garden this morning... so pleased I've not got to go work or even get the car out ! Definitely enough snow build a snowman ⛄️ #snow #uksnow #ukweather

There's definitely enough snow build a snowman ⛄️ now! #snow #uksnow #ukweather #staffordshire

Well that took longer than expected 🙄 but it's done. I like having my frame done first but the top ended up being the last bit as it was all blue and difficult to sort out. Only noticed when I finished there's a piece missing which is a shame. #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #mikejupp

Great sky this morning #sunrise #staffordshireskies #nature

watching Bowie: The Final Act ... when he comes out at Glastonbury singing Wild is the Wind ... I love that song ! #BowieTheFinalAct #Bowie

of course it was going to end there ... cracking episode of The Traitors, I was getting stressed that they wouldn't be able to complete their secret task without being caught ! #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors

Having listened to the audiobook, I wanted to read the book for myself. Managed to pick a copy of the paperback up from Vinted. #wintering #books #reading #katherinemay

Didn't manage catch the sunset but the January full 'wolf' moon looks huge ! #fullmoon #moon #nature

It's definitely soup sort of weather today ... a big bowl of spicey cajun leek and potato soup ... I even went back for seconds! That'll sort any cold viruses I might have picked up visiting Dad 🤣🤣 #soup #homemadesoup

The sunrise is just out of view from my garden this time of year as it rises behind the houses ...but there's still a nice glow! #sunrise #nature ##mygarden

A few hours jigsawing - is that even a word 🤣🤣 Given up sorting through reindeer antlers and bits of turkey for now. Fresh eyes another day and it will all fit together nicely #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles

just throwing it out there ... wouldn't it be fun if the secret Traitor was Alan Carr 🤣🤣 #TheTraitors

nice twist in The Traitors having a secret Traitor. #TheTraitors

when I see the Traitors in their cloaks I keep expecting to see Alan Carr's face under the hood 🤣🤣 #TheTraitors

When the clock strikes 12 we bid farewell to 2025 I wish you much health, wealth and happiness for 2026. To those friends and family no longer with us, I raise a glass 🥂 To those friends who have become strangers, I bid you farewell. To those friends who are still in my life, I wish you much love ❤

That was a chilly walk back from dropping the car off at the garage this morning but nice watching the day come to life at sunrise. #sunrise #staffordshireskies #nature

A wander around the shops at Trentham this morning buying things I do not need 😂 I left around midday and it was starting get busy and they were queuing get on the car park. I will get on that wheel one day for a ride! #trenthamestate

My favourite movie quote 🤣 #topgun

not sure it was the right time emotionally to watch Ripple on Netflix 🥲A great series about connections we make and being in the right place at the right time. I need a second series soon ! #RippleNetflix

Back to normality and Apedale for breakfast this morning. It was a bit nippy! An event on at railway so it was a bit busier than usual. Nice to catch up and have a natter. #Saturdaybreakfast #steamtrains #Apedale

Anyone recognise this chimney ... had notification my presents have been delivered but that's not my chimney 🤣🤣 #ChristmasDay #Santa

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

New Christmas PJs, tracking Santa and a sneaky snowball - cheers! #ChristmasEve

I think you meant to post this... I recognised those numbers... and thought we must be similar... This year on Bluesky I wrote 544 posts and 189 replies. I received 1,636 likes, whereas 32 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "lovely" and 😂! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

Day 24 of my advent calendar coloured in. That's the last one 😢 #adventcalendar #foxunderthemoon #colouringinforgrownups

Done Mum some flowers. Greenery from my garden and my holly bush grew from a cutting from Mum's garden. Been to the Crem and the sun shone. I've tried again to attach Mum's plaque to the headstone ! Not holding up much hope it doesn't drop off again! #rememberingmum #mymum

Whitmore Lakes and Cake Shack this afternoon. A couple of the small ponds are overflowing we've had so much rain this last few weeks. #whitmorelakes

so emotional watching Sir Chris Hoy on Cycle of Hope. His views and his positivity are commendable. Live life to the full is a lesson for everyone. #ChrisHoy

Day 18 of Advent calendar coloured in. Only got 6 days of colouring in left. Wondering if they do a day to day colouring in calendar... that would keep me busy 😂 #adventcalendar #colouringinforgrownups ##foxunderthemoon

Currently on chapter 13 of Wintering where she talks about the benefits of cold water swimming and I find myself nodding along, not that I've ventured into really "cold" water yet but I totally understand where she is coming from and maybe one cold day I will venture in ! #wintering #KatherineMay

Don’t ever think Christmas cards aren’t worth sending. Not sure you could measure all the joy and warmth they bring, so you’re just going to have to trust me that it’s enormous. Even if you send just the one. Last posting today for 2nd Class (87p). #ChristmasCardDay ☺️🎄📮
