Blimey, it's been bitterly cold up here on the west coast for a few days now. The artic winds are blowing but thankfully we haven't had any snow on the island.
Ferries have been off again today and probably will be again tomorrow judging by the weather forecast.
Our heating has been going on around lunchtime and its taking ages to get the flat warm. Roll on summer that's all I can say!.
February is cholangiocarcinoma month - what's that I hear you say! Well, cholangiocarcinoma (or CC as its often referred too) is bile duct cancer and its the cancer that my Mom died of back in Dec 2013.
I've spoken before about the charity AMMF who are the only CC charity in the UK. I fundraise for them and shall be holding another online auction for them in mid March when it would have been Mom's 80th Birthday.
I had an article in my local paper, The Buteman this week to help raise awareness and have had a couple of monetary donations already to the cause which is nice.
The auction is being run through my buteartism FB page and hopefully by the time of the auction there will be lots of lovely items up for grabs.
My aim is to reach £1000 by the end of this auction - so far I've raised £835 for AMMF so I'm pretty sure we can do it this year.
If you can spare a little something handmade then it would be much appreciated. You can contact me via the FB page or leave a comment below.
Right, need to go find my hot water bottle. xx
