Before the New Year

How strange the weather has been for the last few days, neither one thing or the other.  Calm, dry and dull.  No wind, no rain and no sun either.  It feels 'pending'.  I'm hoping proper winter weather stays away for a few more days as we have to travel and stay over for a family funeral next week.  We started this year with a funeral and it seems like next year is starting out the same.  


Below are a few photos from yesterday's morning walk around the lake.

How quiet it seemed, not many people along the paths.  Just a few other walkers or photographers passing by.


Even the water birds seemed quiet with the occasional call from a coot or gull or the flap of wings from a landing swan.








Time for a snooze for Mr and Mrs Mallard.



Right, time to get ready for my appointment at the opticians to see what the problem with my right eye is.  It's always the right eye, I've had laser treatment on it before I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't have to have that again or that the cataracts haven't worsened.  I'm a bit of a scaredy cat where my eyes are concerned and can't bear anyone messing with them.

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas.  All my best wishes for the New Year.

Take care.

  1. Looks cold. We've had no sun for over a week, lots of gray ugly days. We've had lots of wind, and yesterday snow flurries and again this morning. I'm counting down the days until spring. Not a fan of winter. Sorry to hear you have another funeral to attend. ((HUGS)) and best of luck that the weather holds for your travels.
