Being a wise and prudent fluffy bird, Algy heeded his friends advice and moved away from the pond covered with a tempting but dangerously thin sheet of ice. Unfortunately, however, the sun also moved away, and the temperature on the moor dropped until it began to get rather more cold than was really quite comfortable…

Giving the matter careful thought, Algy decided to fly over to his assistant’s house for Christmas, where he could be protected from the worst excesses of the West Highland Christmas weather and maybe help pull a Christmas cracker or two 🙂

Algy and his assistant are expecting some exceedingly stormy weather over the next few days, which may lead to their being temporarily cut off from their Tumblr friends over Christmas. In case this happens, Algy and Jenny would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderfully Merry Christmas, and Algy sends you all a lot of especially fluffy Christmas hugs xoxo

And don’t forget – the Kindle edition of Algy’s new book, The Magical Midwinter Star, is FREE to download from any Amazon site on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Have a magical midwinter, everybody 🙂

It had been the coldest November night in Scotland for several years, and when Algy woke up in the morning he found that the world had been provided with a beautiful coverlet of white hoar frost. In areas of long grass it had created undulating waves in a frozen green sea, and Algy was able to ride on the top as though he were sailing across an icy ocean, as the frost held everything firmly in its place.

The sky was dark and heavy with snow clouds, and a bitter wind was blowing from the east. Algy kept trying to wrap his tartan shawl around himself more effectively, but it was almost impossible to keep warm.
