Over for another year

I normally try and follow the 12th night traditions but it was more practical to put away the Christmas Paraphernalia today.  It has been another day that ended up with a warm afternoon of around 29C. It started a cool 17C which meant our lad went off to the beach while I picked the last of the apricots and started on preserving what we can of the fruit. In the end we did quite well with harvesting around 9KG and the birds had similar amount.
