The Bench ...

... at Red Wharf Bay.

A beautiful late morning after heavy rain when I got up. Breakfast was banana pancakes and maple syrup then I went down the lane to our part of the beach. It's weeks since I've been down there, I took lots of photos, lots of blue sky and about a dozen ships in the bay, waiting for the storm this evening.

I was totally shattered by the time I'd walked back up the hill home and spent the afternoon making jewellery and watching old episodes of M*A*S*H.

Happy Hogmanay to everyone and Happy New Year when it arrives in your part of the world. I hope that 2014 brings you happiness, good health and peace x
