Maximum temperature here today 14⁰C, minimum 6⁰C. 3 mm of rain measured this morning but it has been raining all day. 23km/h North-westerly winds with gusts up to 46 km/h. The freeze arrives on Christmas day. Temperatures drop and frost arrives.
I had intended doing another blog before this one, but time caught up with me, and the speed of the WiFi just got worse. I hope it will improve in the New Year but I do not have much hope. I have picked one photo from each month of 2020, thankfully COVID has not as yet killed off my photos. Probably not the best photos as far as photography goes, but the ones I like from each month
12.2 km walked yesterday the best ever!
14/01/2020 A sunset that looked like a fireworks display.
