time of the year

We have settled near here - five minutes away.
This is today: not quite springtime but not far off; December 27th and look at the weather.











Even more like spring if you turn around and look the other way:
This is Broadstone Cricket Club: you can almost imagine the players arriving to open up the pavilion across the field.

I sat and watched West Brom play Manchester City last night in a howling snowstorm. Doesn't seem fair does it?






This is in a park given by a Miss Kennedy, according to the sign at the entrance, not far from the somewhat unusual and beautiful war memorial sculpted by Gilbert Bayes R.A. in 1920.

Apart from a few shops and 'our local', a fantastic pub within staggering distance from home, this is our first bit of exploring: a bit more to come in the future.

Happy New Year.
