Happy New Year

A new year, and another year older!

A surprise visit from Jacqui (and Fletch, of course) this morning, when coffee, cake, and a cheeky wee dram or was it two?! were enjoyed!

After lunch, and a little later than intended, MrM and I set off to walk to the top of Humbleton Hill, and then over to St Cuthbert's Way. It was windy in Wooler, but at the top of the hill so windy that neither of could stand upright. We reached the walls of the hill fort, but didn't make it quite as far as the cairn before retreating back the way we'd come! The Blip was taken a short distance from the top, where it was slightly less wild! We re-routed and had a very enjoyable walk, with the bonus of spotting a red squirrel as we passed through the Common on the way home.

Home for a birthday tea, wine, and phone calls with Tom and Lucy, after which MrM and I watched Don't Look Up!

A good day! Hope you've all had a good start to the year too.
