Sunny

Beautiful day after all the recent rain and it seemed wrong to stay indoors while the sun was shining. I set off without a real plan and found myself heading for Sussex. I decided to go and check out the Rother Levels. This is reclaimed land which acts as a flood plain and after the weather we've been enjoying it forms a number of large lakes alongside the road. You nearly got a blip of that but I was taken with the way the sunlight works on these trucks at Bodiam Station. It's a place I don't visit often because it doesn't have a car park and the places to park are usually full but I parked near the castle and walked up for a mooch. There were trains running today but too far apart to justify hanging around; the sun was out but it was far from being warm!

Earlier today I enjoyed part of a Christmas present - Craster kippers. Totes amazeballs! I might have a beer later - I tried one the other night and it seemed to work well. If you face the prospect of work tomorrow please know that those of us who don't envy you - you'll be enjoying the last working Monday of the year while some of us are being denied this pleasure. Wring the pips from it mes amis!
