On a sparkly Saturday morning walk, after days if not weeks of torrential rain showers, finally we had a bright sun. The swollen stream dazzling in the sunshine. Its banks have been eroded with so much water, but here and there the first snowdrops were just visible at the water's edge.
Now the days are starting to be a little longer, but the cold might hit us soon.
So far my Resolution for the new year has been off to a shaky start - with the odd burnt crust at breakfast, but perseverance is all!
