Tuesday… December 29th 2015, somewhat dramatic and changeable to say the least. Wonderful lanes for contemplation and plot-plottery.
A sky reminiscent of the clouds of JupiterHorse-drawn thing one way, clippetty clatterSheepiesSheepies with flareHorse-drawn thing back again the other way, clomp und clompMurder at the Gallop?
and then again, today’s expedition along the same lane… December 31st 2015, with a sun that couldn’t be bothered climbing very high in the sky.
Ditchwater. Ditches full to the brim of cold NATO coffeePuddles… (I didn’t do it) and the bridge repair has not yet blended inA low winter sunNew garage my arse, that’ll be a holiday-let before you can say “take the piss”How the car _will_ enjoy that panoramic window!Legs, akimbo. The Colossus of, ahem – roads. Country roads.Slumbering tree, with fieldSlumbering tree, with moonFarmer chap, sheep.
Still, blew the cobwebs away nicely, and circulated the blood.
Splendid stuff.
More in 2016, and at some point the posts will get very canal-boaty indeed!
Great pictures Ian and I so agree about the garage. Looking forward to news on the canal boaty stuff especially on the journey from where you are now, to getting close to home.
Happy New Year
Hugs
In fact, we can’t say that in Welsh because we have no ‘j’ in our alphabet (nor ‘k’).
That is a good bridge repair, but it never will blend in because the new bricks are ordinary ones and the original would have been much harder and ‘blue’. I live very near several bridges of blue brick and very fine they are, too.
Have a spiffing new year, old bean and enjoy the boating; I am really looking forward to reading about that. Do you need to swim? I thought the canals are rather shallow.
Cheers, Muskie! Happy New Great-Ape Year to you to, sir! I think the correct term for what I’ll be doing is “winging it and hoping not to make too much of a prat of himself”! 🙂

Most of the canals are shallow, but the problem is that I’m only two foot six tall… 😉 Happy New Year to you and yours too!
