Beech trees in the sun

Another New Year and another year older!

After a late start and leisurely breakfast with lashings of coffee, and opening some presents (a couple of interesting ones this year - you'll no doubt hear about them in good time...), MrM and I walked up the track on Weetwood Moor with Louie. There was a chill wind, but the sun was shining and it was good to be out, and MrM was pleased to see a beautiful red squirrel on a branch near the top of one of the beech trees.

Back home as the weather deteriorated for a day of cooking, tidying, cleaning and family phone calls - oh, and back blipping. And in the evening, a few friends round for food, drink and music (until the floors in the flat have been sorted out, we daren't invite too many people at once for fear that we could end up in the shop below!).
