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.
Xmas Day. We had a visit from the MIL and brother David. We had lamb rather than Turkey. A good nosh was had by all!

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!
Went to Knutsford for my Tai Chi class and stopped off for a crafty pint in the Bells of Peover.
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.
A sad day. I went to the funeral of Paul's Dad Bernard. Here's a picture of Paul and his brothers with Janet.
Photos taken at the village Fayre this evening. We enjoyed an excellent Chinese for supper.
A great day out in Liverpool with Mike. Cold but sunny, about 1 degree C. Had a good stroll round and a visit to some iconic pubs including the Philharmonic and Ye Cracke.
