Ho, ho, ho...how are you? Some of us here actually got round to eating a mince pie earlier. First Christmassy food to pass our lips! It's very unusual for me to have company as you know and I'm grateful for many things but it's hard to squeeze in blogging too... so another brief check in post. We watched the Boxing Day walk into the sea and it was as absurdly mild this year as it was frozen last year. The dippers ran in screaming as usual but then most just hung about for ages swimming around, treading water and chatting, doing handstands etc. instead of hurtling back to the shore. Hardly a shiver among them! I bent down to feel the water with my hands...absolutely fine, seriously I'd have gone in myself if it hadn't been against doctor's orders! Afterwards we went for a drive up to Dartmoor to look at some favourite views, listen to the roar of rushing rivers and make more 'Aah!' noises over the ponies and black furry cows...then back for a fry up! Loads of thanks to John as ever for his willing and able kitchen shifts both cooking and cleaning up afterwards. How wonderful it is to have catering and chores an optional activity for a few days!
As for W words well...being able to use the word 'we' for a while is something for which I'm very grateful! Windows and walls (in the right places), wind, water, waves, willows, walking, wandering, writing, wondering, wisteria, wool, wood, woods and words themselves...
