Monday morning and the beach is busy with dog walkers. Most of the folks up and about at sunrise are locals but the first Airbnbers are starting to appear. These are easy to spot. Their dogs look at two miles of empty sand and go wild. Absolutely ' I has died and gone to heaven' wild.
The cheese shop will soon be busy. We stop off for some Stilton. The guy behind the counter has made an early start on making up cheese plates. I wonder if he will be looking so composed by the time he shuts up shop this evening ?

There are parking spaces aplenty. What luxury ! It's difficult to explain what it's like to live in a town that's always full to the brim to youngsters or golfers and then almost overnight becomes deserted.

Christmas song #19 .There's nothing on earth quite like the wonders of a Christmas 'spectacular' on German television . Dry ice is always a prominent feature. Although unknown to me the gentleman and three ladies are presumably 'big' tv celebrities north of the Alps :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5suXifRlVs&list=RDz5suXifRlVs&start_radio=1

The West Wing clip is so telling. I’m off to wash my face of tear tracks

The wreath is lovely, and looks like it might smell good, too!
The article on NCAR gave me flashbacks to early this century, when I was part of founding the STaR (Science, Technology and Research) Party to fight an election in defence of the CSIRO - Australia's premier research facility (from which arose Wi-Fi and Polymer banknotes among so much more, as well as playing its part in climate science). The Keating government was seeking to break it up (resulting in some internal disruption that might have been just as destructive). Long story short, it's still going and still battling for funding. Meanwhile that brief single-term brush with political life left its marks... YAM xx
Mark me down as another blog follower who's off to wash away the tear tracks after that West Wing clip ! A different world - Emm xx
