Yes I know everyone feels a bit down in these long dark, dull, grey days.
I have lots to look forward to but feel I am wishing my life away, I should be more like the Danish and embrace this time of year, take the time to rest, restore, refresh and review.
I really am trying not to stress about things I can not do anything about, if I can't change it then I need to let it go and think about the things I can do to make me, my family and my friends happy.
One thing that has made me happy was we felt able to put out some of our photos and ornaments now the cats are a little older.
The New Year started with a walk....now there is a surprise!
The Wirral on a lovely cold, crisp day.
We started in New Brighton where there were some very brave people talking a dip!
We had a lovely lunch at Prezzo.
Then we drove round to Hoylake and walked along the beach.
We managed another walk before returning to work but I will tell you about it another time.
Milo meets Mini Milo!

I rather like this quiet time of year, though I wish I had bit more energy to get things done. Don't you just love cats and baskets/boxes!
ReplyDeleteI just love your photos of your home,Lyn, your walks and the kitties! (Oh, and your lovely lunches, too!) There is something about British charm, and it makes me feel like I'm taking a little holiday when I come to visit. Favorite photos here? Milo and mini Milo, of course! xxx
ReplyDeleteWe walked at New Brighton in the summer and it was chilly and wet even then. Lovely to see the three pussy cats and that's a great photo of Milo and mini Milo:)
ReplyDeleteChin up Lyn! I love Milo and Mini Milo!!! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a varied but lovely collection of your 'blue' January.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd shot of Milo and mini Milo is gorgeous, but given the weather, your shot of the swimmers is my favourite. They look to be having so much fun
Hi Lyn - sorry you have the blues - I must have Danish blood somewhere then as I actually like these first few months of the year to take stock and plan for the year ahead. My only difficulty are the dark mornings - if left to sleep I could sleep the clock round - so I had to invest in a Lumie lamp to get me to work on time. Your two cats are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling too at this time of the year, but when, like today, the sun is out and the sky is blue it vanishes in a trice.
ReplyDeleteI can never understand people going in the sea during the winter, but more people than ever seem to be doing it.
Beautiful photos as always. It won't be long now until the warm Spring sunshine is upon us! X
ReplyDeleteWe have mostly had sunny, frosty days so I am not feeling at all miserable.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as usual. I am wondering when the sun comes out, how we will react? It has been so dreary, foggy and gray.
ReplyDeleteHope you see some sunshine soon, Lyn. Thank you for a lovely break from the grey here in Vermont. We are expecting some snow overnight and so I must get down to town for a few errands! (Love the pics of the kitties!)xo
ReplyDeleteYour photos are enough to cheer anyone up!!! Esp the pussy-cats!
