Dawn

 An apricot hued skyline, the second day of a new moon and Jupiter...at 7am breathtaking...and freezing!!

Hoping and wishing for an end to all the hurt and arguing all over the world. 

Politicians cause it, military do it and the majority that get hurt are the rest of the population.  It has always been thus.   

I side with none, before anyone flings any accusations.

Sky contrasts, new year hopes

This morning...icy road at the front...

Beautiful sunrise at the back...and soon it started snowing again. Jobs indoors again..ironing, keeping the clothes, doing a little tidying....our one visitor today...the postie!!

By 3.30pm we had just enough time for a walk, our loop out round the back of the village on the road.. Looking towards Goat Fell on Arran...

Following himself down the road...with the beautiful sky to the right...

And grey on the left!

We cut back cross country half way to get off the road...just in time to see the sunset through the trees

And the other way?.....

 Here we go towards 2021..Kiwis were just about the first to get there.....able to celebrate together...

We have been at home, watching last celebrations on BBC Alba...then,.a programme Sounds of the Line, by a musician inspired by the sounds and the history and old photos of the West Highland Line...seeing the news...briefly....disaster upon disaster....then Billy Connolly....you need a smile! Sad that he can no longer perform, due to Parkinson's...but the spark is still there.

Just over an hour until next year... here's hoping for health, people respecting themselves and others, happiness and friendship. Not a lot!!
