New Day, New Year and it’s uncharacteristically dry and sunny here, although quite cold and bracing. After the sad week we’ve had, Husb and I decided to blow the cobwebs away and walked down to the beach. Husb went off on a 5k run and I power-walked a couple of kilometres then stopped for aContinue reading “Blowing The Cobwebs Away”
