Today's the day ....................... for another world 

It was a strange day out there when I went for a brief walk this afternoon.

The weather was better than yesterday - but not by much.  Everything looked wet and bedraggled - and the branches of trees, tattered and torn from yesterday's gales.  The swirling misty clouds were tinged a strange pink colour - and every now and then, they would clear to show the bright white rugby ball-shaped moon.  There was no colour in the vegetation - apart from a little garden of lichens and mosses growing on the stones of the old bridge (see extra).  But even that looked a bit other-worldly.

It was nice to get a breath of fresh air - but quite frankly, it was even nicer to get back home and into the warmth of the fireside ....................!
