Beauty is all around us.

Cat nap from Holly.

The Solemnity of Mother Mary, the Holy Mother of Jesus.

The first day of this year has started with strong gusty wind here in Rishton and hours of heavy rain. It was 4c but felt like 1c. The starlings were a joy to see perched on the Best One shop roof, chatting amongst themselves happily. Many birds came to eat in our garden, blackbirds, pigeons and Paul noticed a robin.
I stayed awake last night until after midnight, but avoided watching much celebration on television. I find the whole fireworks side of celebrations very difficult to say anything constructive about. A very scary loud incendiary bomb like sound exploded within my hearing and it scared poor cat Holly. I have no words to describe my feelings regarding whoever made or sold or bought that particular nasty piece of un eco friendly ghastliness. They ruin peace. They should not be made nor sold. God understands all the dark side of human nature but I try hard to not contribute to that sad side of thinking.
Mostly indoors all day and nothing to complain about. Reading, crocheting and relaxing.
We were glad to have my sister's gift of Hotel Chocolat.
Paul embarked on a new challenging jigsaw puzzle.
I continued reading Steeple Chasing by Peter Ross.
I hope your day was happy.

Thank you blip friends for visiting my site.
