You couldn't conjure up better New Years Day weather if you tried. The sky clear and the sunrise red and pink and golden all at one and the same time. The beach surprisingly busy with people walking off last nights festivities. The three surfer lads have returned. The light frost and 'cheeky' wind doesn't seem to bother them although they don't so much run as sprint across the sand. I wonder if they ever stop to think about life before neoprene ?
Back here in the village Puppy is up at first light to welcome in the New Year. She is full of energy. The farmers sons are nowhere to be seen. They went on to a party in Crail after the villages White Heather Club gathering ended.

Greetings for 2026! Thank you for all the links provided last year, and for starting the year with yet more worthy items of interest and value. YAM xx
Happy New Year to you both and all your followers.

Happy New Year to you, the Font and all your readers. Your posts and links were a bright point in a dark year, although your sporran with eyes still gives me the heebie jeebies. The fireworks here went on and on last night, both the official and the private - turning the page on a new year really does give people hope and joy. I thank you for linking Zelensky's speech, which was terribly moving.
Thank you especially for such a charming picture of Puppy and the link to the Zelenskyy speech. Happy New Year and good health to all who come here!
Echoing Lisa in France's feelings about the furry sporran -- beaver? Makes me wonder if it started out life here in the wilds of Canada! :) Wishing you and the Font the happiest of New Years!
Bonne année
Happy New Year to Angus and lovely Font and to all who come here to get a gentle perspective on life from TLWHBD! Looking forward to the daily reports in 2026 for this absolutely wonderful Scots adventure.
One of your sporrans is staring at me.
Don't let Puppy see that furry sporran!! Again, thanks for the Zelensky link. Happy, healthy 2026 to this little community!
Happy new year to you both. The picture of Puppy is wonderful. She looks lovely with her tongue out and the sea view behind her.
