I say freedom as I have just been isolating with Covid…. not sure where it came from and luckily no one else in the family I came into contact with over Christmas have succumbed. Not sure it helped (wasn’t missing much) or added to the depression of being stuck in isolation…. but the weather was pretty dire. Damp, grey and miserable, not a white Christmas… and in many parts of the country floods..
Then Thursday, I am clear and so are the sky. Cold but the sun was startling bright and the air so fresh.
Exercise was a must and the past two days have not been wasted. So here is a mix of places reinvigorating this old man…
That was the good news…. the advance forecast is not so good. Winter storms, rain freezing as it lands and snow predicted. Now we haven’t had a proper snow fall for a number of years…. and by the end of today that change was starting to show.
Whatever the weather…. wherever you are…. always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Glad you recovered so you could enjoy a wonderful outing! I was down with a head cold but recuperated now, thankfully. And I was the only one to get it. Go figure.

It does that to you. I remember when I had it and I was tired for quite some time afterwards. Take it easy and don’t overdo it.
