A Pot Pourri of images from 2025. Images from home and my immediate surrounds.. It has been a strange year for weather. Winter seemed to drag, then Spring was wet followed by a hot ands very sunny Summer, whilst Autumn reverted to again being more wet than sunny. Some would say the plus side is the lack of snow and only the occasional frost.
.I will end with a picture from last weekend, on a Family Illuminated Woodland Walk… a fun night to end the year with most but not all of my Tribe. 🙂
I hope you have a healthy and Happy New Year
No matter what 2026 has in store for all of us, we wait to see … so even more important to always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Thank you so much for following. It is at moments reflected in that group phot that I am reminded just how big the tribe is…. and as mentioned that isnt all of the tribe…. then of course we have a collection of dogs that keep us all in order. All the very best for a peaceful and happy New Year
