After a few quiet days, went for a late afternoon walk along the river. Some great views with rising mist. It's still raining and storm Henk has caused flooding in much of the UK - #ClimateCrisis. No flooding locally, thankfully.

So here we are in 2024. Endless devastating war in Ukraine and the massacre in Gaza continues. We had a quiet New Year by the telly, and today we visited our friends Anthea and Pete for a walk in Biddulph followed by an excellent tagine and wine. Sadly two of their llamas dies over Xmas 😪

It's been wild recently. Lots of rain and wind. The ground is saturated. We've had a few storms, including Storm Gerrit which trapped people on the A9 in a snowstorm, and a small tornado in Stalybridge which ripped the roofs off some houses. We were pretty lucky here. Susie and I went for a rain free walk.

Today its Yule. A day I celebrate. It's the shortest day of the year, which means it will be getting lighter and brighter soon! Today we have Storm Pia. 80 mph gusts in some places, thankfully not here. Funny how this always seems to strike when you have to put the bins out!

Adrian came over for the weekend, and we had a trip to Liverpool. It was good to visit the museum, and Bluecoat. We stopped off in The Bridewell and the White Star for a couple of crafty pints.
