Just about bordering on odd, I see things through different eyes.The heading says it all - I live, I love, I craft, I am me...

It starts here :D

Despite a rather late night ... ok ok - well it was New Year's Eve and we did have a cracking cheese board and sticky toffee pudding to scoff  - any hoo, we eventually fell into bed ... then ...after a two hour 'nap' I woke up ... wide awake ... wide.... wide ..... wide... awake

Any hoo - by the time everyone had got up I'd only had about two hours sleep in total ... so cue a rather bleary eyed me for the rest of the day 😏😴😴
Going for the first walk of 2022 was the very best thing for a fuzzy head - induced by lack of sleep rather than anything alcoholic! The fresh breeze soon cut through the haze and filled my lungs with clear crisp air and despite it being the first day of January - it was amazingly mild and we soon shed jumpers and coats.

Moss ran around with the silliest grin on her face as she chased down her frisbee and ran around with it around her face.


We bumped (not literally) in to folk we'd not seen to chat to since before the first lock down and visited our local village cafΓ© and had a welcoming warming brew as we sat outside in the soft sunlight. It almost felt .... normal?  Well as if 'normal' is a thing now!


 Hello January.

Hello 2022. 

And hello to the first walk of the year and boy did I need you 

to blow away those lack of sleep cobwebs!!

πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ

Hope you have had a good start to your year and it just keeps of getting better

(As long as you get plenty of sleep 🀣🀣)

Right I am off to bed - absolutely knackered!!

  1. Happy New Year to you and your family from the folks down under. Lack of sleep is something I know only too well and we've had some earlyish walks too before the heat sets in. Love Moss with her Frisbee. Take care and hugs.

  4. That suddenly bang awake is strange isn't it, especially with no obvious reason.
    Glad you had a good walk

    1. It was definitely one of the rude awakenings, one with no reason and the walk was just the thing for it😊

  5. I hope you managed to catch up on your sleep. I blame the cheese!
    Fabulous photos, I though Moss was wearing one of those Elizabethan collars at first, glad it's just a toy. xxx

    1. And to you Fil! It has been and remains still to be mild. I love that you went back with a book - a very good start to the year indeed!

  7. I know that walk! After the recent high winds I was surprised that none of the big trees along the lane had been blown down as some look vulnerable. It's so good to be able to get out for a walk. Yesterday and today I've done over 10,000 steps! May the mild weather keep us walking! x

    1. You do indeed!
      There have been some large branches down and the wall has been repaired but at the moment all seem settled and fine - they are mature trees and I do love them so.
