    Got out today for the first little walk of the year. walked from home into the woods and fields above the sea and stopped for obligatory brew (and chocolate chip panettone) . windy up high but calm once in the woods.

    I found this at the road side of a lane. It will be going onto the exterior of my garage so I can hang in the garden....

    I had to walk and get the car,left it round a friend's after there party last night,it was only 2 and a bit miles but it cleared my head and got the blood pumping! Spent the afternoon out back with the fire alight doing a bit of carving which has been nice. Roast chicken dinner tonight then back to work tomorrow
