...got my walking boots on and went for a half-decent walk on a bitter cold, sunny day.
Didn't do so much walking as talking though. Stopping to talk to loads of people and watching the Fieldfares,Blackbirds, Mistlethrush and starlings eating the decaying apples in the orchard. At one point it suddenly went quiet apart from the alarm calls of the Blackbirds and the vast beating of wings of the above mentioned birds. And the reason? A Sparrowhawk looking for a late luncheon bird! Still, that's life, but magnificient to see all the same.
I decided to pop into my Sisters' for a cuppa, but, she was out. So I continued and came around the back of my place, when I heard a 'yoo hoo!'. It was one of my elderly neighbours calling out to me to pop in for a sherry. I did not decline, 'cos I just fancied a natter and something to warm me up! My snoz (nose) was freezing cold and besides, what a good excuse for an aperitif with a friendly neighbour!
I admit to dozing off watching Countryfile though!
Have a good week,
Sandie xx

Sounds like you had a lovely time out on your walk and what better way to warm up than a sherry and a natter have a great week
Hm..cup of tea v sherry. I know which one I'd choose! :)
Nothing like a little drop of sherry and a good doze.
Love from Mum

You lush!!! Sherry of an afternoon sounds like the way to go to me. xxxxx
What a perfect walk. I love to go for a walk around the village when I feel a bit down in the dumps and am on my own. I wrap up warm and there are always folks out and about doing the same - there's nothing like a cheery 'hello' to each other to lift the spirits.
It sounds like you had a wonderful day. It's cold here too with snow now. I haven't been out in it at all today but will be tomorrow. We are expecting about 14 inches of the white stuff!
sounds like a great day.

A good day, all in all I'd say ;-) You can't beat an afternoon sherry - in fact you've just got me thinking....
I love watching the birds too especially about 6.30am in the dark in the morning listening to them all..my bit of peace before the school run!..thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments on my paintings..as you can tell from the skies I have painted it has been very cold and misty up here too
Hi Sweet Sandy-
Love hearing about your little walk-- I love to walk too- even when it's cold. Warming up with a sherry sounds delightful-- you have nice neighbors!
Stay safe and warm girlfriend!
