Hope you enjoy the 2 pictures...went for a few walks around the lake over the holiday and around thirty of the small trees along the path have been decorated with baubles and tinsel. It looks both surreal and yet strangely beautiful. The other is of the stream that enters the lake just to show what a mild weather spell we have had. Back to work tomorrow and the weather is forecast to grow quite cold with a hint of snow. I would like to see some snow as we haven’t had any yet this Winter. Hope you had a good holiday.

Christmas falls away so swiftly and soon are forgotten all the things that were so eagerly awaited. Now arrives the New Year and with it sincere pledges that I would hope are all kept. For a better world is created not by wishes but by our deeds.
