Who tangled up my fairy lights? the Christmas Day community escape lounge

I finally took my walk along the beach to the Downs after dinner.  It was special.  Cold, clear, bright.  The light had a quality you don't see at any other time of year.  It was uplifting. 

Beautiful photos 

It was a special day, Sunflower.  I'm not really sure quite why yet... but that's all part of the mystery.

Synchronicity, I think...

We've had to re-plan yet again!  Too full after dinner for Christmas pudding so that's been tentatively rescheduled for breakfast.  Relatively early start for me tomorrow since I'm covering the boxing day escalation shift.  I've been off for a week and a half so I'm hoping for a quiet day of catching up with email!

What a lovely day! 

We did our usual going to feed the wild-fowl on the river and the usual mobbing ensued.  Fun with the geese, swans, ducks and common gulls plus a pair of coots.  Only the geese and gulls came out of the water this year so only the geese got fed from the hand.  Once we got back we had a delayed solstice fire - we couldn't find the legs for our firebox in the shed originally but we had time to take everything out and re-sort it all today and finally found them.  The "starters" we got ended up being lunch.  Now food is cooking.

Met a lovely woman on the path up from the beach. Gave her a random Christmas present I had with me. Everything feels a bit special on Christmas Day.
