December 24th – I came back over the common, trying to see if I couldn’t find some Christmas deer. They sensed my intention and successfully evaded me, but the sunset was nice through the trees at Engine Lane. Everything is sodden at the moment – the towpaths, trails, bridleways. It’s quite hard going. Oh for a few days of settled, calm weather to allow everything to dry out a bit.

Wherever you find yourselves in the next 24 hours – home, work, with the family, away from those you love – whatever at all – do have a good Christmas. Remember, we’re over the nadir now; from here, everything opens out.

I told the truth - but told it bent. Wandering around bemused and ranty since 2007. View all posts by BrownhillsBob
