- Thousands of oyster catchers fly up in front of me as I walk along the beach
- The sea is calm and the sea groins are reflected on its surface as it creeps over the final metres of sand
- A sea of snowdrops under the trees!

A New Start!
Getting some fresh air! |
- New Years Day and the sun is out. I note that there is a Wallflower in bloom and a primrose outside the back door.
- At last I feel that my cold is finally lifting. I go for a short walk down to the shore.
- The 'boys' play under the car all afternoon. Home education doesn't get much better than Dad and son time,
