Shiny and new. January 1st 2025


From the warmth and comfort of 'The Fonts' cabin we watch the New Year deliver a spectacular start to the day. What colours! It was calm and dry for the midnight fireworks display then shortly after they finished the northerly gales started up again. We only had to walk back a half mile from the village hall but the time we got home we were soaked.


From the lack of people around I'm guessing there are a few sore  heads this morning. With the exception of the lady with the Pomeranian and a hotel porter walking two labradors even the dog owners are taking it easy. We wonder how much you have to tip a hotel porter to have him take your dogs for a walk.

In these winds even the seagulls are keeping close to terra firma.


The laughter levels are the same but here's a  rather more sophisticated version of a party than we experienced last night :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUG9kIla5iA

What a spectacular sunrise and start to the first day of the New Year.
I have yet to walk the dog. It's unseasonably cold and miserable this morning - the sun is battling with heavy cloud and the threat of rain.

Continued mist and mizzle this side, but all quiet from the roaring wind, so we'll take the positives. Very interesting reading to start the year off, ta. YAM xx

Happy New Year! The article about learning to enjoy things more was a good read to begin the new year. I've always had a knack for finding enjoyment in things but it was a reminder that it's a skill that needs tweaking. Your sunrise must be a blissfully enjoyable way to begin the day.

Upon seeing you sunrise picture, I immediately heard my mother's voice, "red sky at morning, sailor take warning; red sky at night sailor's delight." Happy New Year!
