Last light

The last dusk of 2020 and it was a beautiful one.  The tiny bright light in the blackness at the bottom of the photo is the head torch from one of a pair of walkers coming along the lane in the darkness; chatting as they went, their voices carried far in the cold air. 

Its been a cold and sunny day, barely above freezing so in shady spots the frost has remained all day.  We've walked the dog, Andy has popped to the vet for more medication for Merlin and bought some food, I've pruned the lavender in the front garden and walked to the allotment for chard to go with this evening's meal of chicken casserole.  No-one else was there - too cold perhaps; it was lovely and silent, just the birds calling to one another as the light faded.

Wishing you all the very best for 2021 and my thanks for all your support during what has been an unimaginable 12 months.
