Before lockdown we’d walk in our nearby woods every couple of months. Since we’ve been walking there every week, sometimes daily, we’ve noticed so many changes as the seasons go by.
⁣
We’ve seen swathes of bluebells and picked wild garlic in Spring. We spotted fallow deer.
⁣
In summer we found wild orchids and in autumn the colours mesmerised as we searched for fungi.
⁣
This week offered magical scenes as the woods were sprinkled with a sparkling layer of hoar frost.
⁣
So grateful to have this on our doorstep…

One of the high points of 2020 (literally!) Climbi

One of the high points of 2020 (literally!) Climbing to the top of Loughrigg Fell in the Lake District in October. That’s Lake Windermere behind me.
⁣
The sense of freedom, being out in wide open spaces and the views were worth every step of the 335m. Actually not a massively high fell but stunning views.

That time back in October when we climbed Loughrigg Fell in the Lake District, Cumbria. Wainwright number 43

Happy day! Who knows when we’ll get back there but the fells will be always waiting for us…

The one thing I wanted to do today was watch the sun set on 2020.

This is just after it dipped below the horizon in Hastings this afternoon. Bon Voyage 2020, can’t wait to see the back of you…
⁣
It’ll be a quiet night in by the fire with Mr Jones and some bubbles tonight to welcome in 2021. Much like every night for the previous two weeks actually (sans bubbles….)
⁣
Hang on in there, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Wishing you all the happiest of years in 2021 xx

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas filled with joy

This is Brighton’s clock tower all lit up for Christmas. The grade II listed building was built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1887.
🎄
Described as a giant salt cellar and charmingly ugly it’s managed to survive many calls to have it demolished... mainly because it would cost too much.
Love it or lose it...?
🎄
Here in the south of England we’ve been placed in tier 4 which is basically lockdown. So we’ll be hunkering down again and spending the next two weeks, or however long, on our own. But there’ll be other Christmases...
🎄
Who else was shocked to see the scenes at St Pancras last night on TV. Crowds of people on packed trains heading out to lower tiers. The perfect virus spreading environment... you can almost see the ripple effect 🤦‍♀️

This is Magstraede in Copenhagen Old Town.
One of the oldest streets in the city and probably the prettiest.

Age old cobblestones and red and ochre buildings - traditional Nordic colours. I captured this just as the sun was setting on a bitterly cold winter’s afternoon before heading to a cosy bar for hot chocolate and hygge... all wonderfully Scandi ♥️
🇩🇰
Happy travel memories 😊 If you want to discover more about what to see and do in Copenhagen the link’s in my bio...

Are you indulging in some hygge this winter?
