Walk and back to a bit of normality

We met up with Ann & Tim last night at Janet's house and had an evening of "family fortunes". So left the car there and went to collect it from Prestatyn this morning on foot with Meg. The picture on the left is Gop hill photographed from the wooded northern slope. We walked past the foot of the mound and into Gwaenysgor. I am not a lover of this time of year in the country as everything looks a dirty shade of brown/green, but the day was not too cold and quite bright.




Gwaenysgor pond, (right) was all churned up at the edges , difficult to keep Meg away but finally we got to the top of the hill. The view of Prestatyn and Liverpool Bay was quite misty.



Meg was knackered when we came to the car, but rallied somewhat as we had to pick the others up and have a second walk on the beach. Barkby beach was crowded with dog walkers, having their post Christmas ambles, and before the rain started we got home just in time to take down the Christmas tree and to make a Turkey curry.

The final picture was taken in the garden as the colour of the berries on the trees is amazing. The mild winter has meant that all those hundreds of bulbs, daffodils,crocus and tulips that I planted in the autumn, are actually starting to sprout.


Watching the The Da Vinci Code (2006) on DVD, at the moment, not the best of films but Audrey Tautou is always lovely to watch.
Tomorrow we are off to Sheffield for our xmas meeting with Bev and Mike. Today we can relax.




By the way, Interesting story of the new James Bond film Casino Royale (2006) , it is the most popular Bond EVER....
