Yep the national animal of Scotland is a ... UNICORN 🦄

So buckle up, as we go shopping for some Unicorn food!

First stop was our local Aldi which is just up the road from the last church that I visited in A tale of three churches for St Andrew's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in Scotland

We grabbed out trolley,andrushed into the store,to be confronted by some crackers!

Who doesn't love to pull a cracker over the festive period, if you can't then there is always your parntner, hehe joking aside, crackers are fun and the wee paper hat is a must to wear at the table whilst scarfing down the turkey! Priced at a fiver for six crackers that is really good value!

And yes, some of them are games, I mean look at this one, it is the game of Cluedo!
FunFact In America it is called Clue ... no idea why, as it was invented in the UK by Mr Pratt in 1943, so why it is called Clue?
Don't ask me, I have no fluffing clue!

Okay okay enough of the fun and games, we are supposed to buying food for the unicorns!

Well, would you look at that, I saw my absolute favourite 🍫, although I tend to prefer dark chocolate, Galaxy is out of this world and is my favourite as Super Eli @coquicoin knows ... Now I hope you are resting up and taking it easy, I am watching you so get well soon😜

Talking about wonderful Hivians with beautiful souls, walked down the aisle and was met by...

So @dreemsteem with the double e just look at that ... you never told us that you had launched your own sweet candy line here in the UK!
Me thinks you will have to come and do a promotional tour!

Now a promotional tour sounds like a book tour!

So there you go @beeber another one for the advent calendar competition and yes there really are 24 yes 24 windows, well in this case 24 books!

Now while we are talking about promotions and @beeber ...

If you read Ecency News for the 1st week of December
then you will have seen that @melinda010100 broke the breaking news that this coming Tuesday 6th December at 8pm UTC time will see the premiere of a fun filled weekly show hosted by yours truly in the ecency discord channel ....
I would love to see as many of you as possible tuning in and participating, who knows Matilda may make an appearance!
It does not matter what country you are in @dreemsteem you can still tune in.

Set your alarms and if you comment below who is the natural enemy of the Unicorn and we see you in the show then perhaps there will be a wee Unicorn poo visit to your wallet...

Right let's get back pushing that trolley!

Where to next...

Quick stop by the yarn, no bargains today though ..,

Oh look, not unicorn food but an advent calendar for your pet pooch!

Woof Woof gimme da chocolate!

Birds, we are getting closer, some of you may remember my summer posts about coconut bras!

Yes of course I bought some! Feels great to buy animal and bird food with our Hive rewards!

Poor Cinderfella has to stock up with his cleaning supplies every so often!

If you read @hiq.magazine then you will know I am the proofreader of the German to English translation and have you read the issue that came out yesterday and which I wrote two articles for?
If not then read it here 👉[ENG] HiQ №25 | Smart, Stylish & Sexy |

I digress well we have an expression, so this one is for you @kvinna and @smooms who introduced me to the wonderful world of Germanic idioms!

this that pineapple 🍍 dies das ananas

Still no unicorn food... but its 9.28pm here which means it is ...

After Eight, woohoo now we are talking, into the trolley these badboys went!

Shortbread, you can't pass the Christmas holidays in Scotland with eating shortbread, sorry wee robin, but you are coming home with me!

SALTED CARAMEL 👍 or 👎

For me, it is 👍👍👍, how about you, and do you say caramel like it is spelt or carmel like so many americans?

That Sponge pudding, I tell you what I have had it before and it is bloody delicious and will be dessert at Christmas lunch!

Perry The Pug and his wee jumper was cute!

We did buy loads of stuff, but did not find any unicorn food:(

This was the closest we got to finding any!!!

This is my contribution to #marketfriday from the delightfully delectable @dswigle

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
