The very last week of December and 2016 and the weather was quite dramatic bringing us freezing fog and more heavy frosts. Not ideal for anyone travelling during the festive season, but somehow eerily beautiful weather to wake up to if you don't have to travel anywhere.
There's been something magical about walking outside with the dog on most days of the year this last year and really seeing and feeling all types of weathers and the seasons come and go. The recent heavy fog brought a whole new dimension to how the garden and countryside looked - or maybe didn't look - as it was a struggle see anything except shrouds of mist and fog on some days. Everything was a stark black or white walking in the countryside during the fog. And then, another day it would lift to reveal the trees, plants, hedgerows and fields covered in white frost and the sun would be out in full, casting its deep orange glows at sunrise and sunset and giving us some spectacular contrasting scenery to the fog.
The bright Christmas lights were a welcome sight during late afternoon walks in the fog - twinkling and glimmering in the distant murkiness; the vibrant sunrises and sunsets gave amazing starts and ends to the bitter cold winter days during the festivities.
Then New Year's Day dawned and somehow fittingly to reflect a brand new start, brought brilliant sunshine and a cloudless sky. An uplifting and refreshing start to a brand new year. Hopefully, a year full of new beginnings, new adventures, making dreams happen and creating many more new memories.
A very 'Happy New Year' to all my readers and followers. I hope it's a good one for you.
