Last night the new year stormed in with a gale..and carried on through the day!
The usual barrage of fireworks was one brief burst from one person.... thankfully.
By late morning it was still windy but warmer.. unseasonably so.
We didn't think it safe for a bike ride, and the alternative was an hour's walk around our end of the village then out past one old mill site, past the stud fields...empty of horses today... and back past another derelict mill.
Coming up from the last mill I walked on the road and Pirate walked along the field side of the hedge, collecting a carrier bag of litter that had been thrown over the hedge. There is a lot less than there used to be, thankfully, but some seem to resent the fact that some of us in the village do litter pick.
Happy New Year to you all. Hoping for a kinder, thoughtful, constructive one
