Absolutely slashing it down this morning: grey and gloomy indoors - the outdoor Christmas lights the only cheerful thing on the horizon. And it all crept up overnight because yesterday was glorious - icy air, clear bright blue sky, not a breath of wind.....a `proper` New Year`s Day, a walk was irresistible.
Didn`t set off until 2ish and already the sun was on its way down and casting long shadows........
and we could hear ourselves breathe. Did the `double loop`, taking us to the far side of the woods, along the road a little way, returning via the crossroads and the other woodland, the one flattened by Storm Arwen which is only now, just over two years later, being sorted out, though who knows what the owners will do with it in the future.
Back down the road as the light faded, the winter trees silhouetted against the clear winter sky:
could have walked on for ever...and absolutely no indication of the deluge we`ve woken up to.
