Goodbye to 2020

 This has been an unhappy year, one that I hope we shall never repeat. The day started crisp and clear with a clear blue sky and a light covering of frost.






















I had a walk around the garden









and then to the lake to see if the water had frozen over.





























Sun was already melting the frosted ground.









It was a quiet, reflective day, with no preparations for dancing and partying as on previous New Year's Eves. A full moon in the sky this evening seen through the window mixed in with our Christmas lights.





















Dear friends and fellow bloggers I wish you all good health and happier times ahead.

    1. Thank you, Pip, and the same to you. It is really quite grim here in Blighty at the moment, due, I'm afraid, to our incompetent government whose approach to everything seems to be that of shutting the stable door after the horse has fled.
      We are hunkering down.

    I can safely say that 2020 will not be repeated - no year has ever been around twice so far ;-)

    1. And to you, Jennyff. This sort of chilly with sunshine I like. Chilly with rain, mud, sleet etc I don't!
