Happy New Year, London. We enjoyed your fireworks last night & your ⁦‪@Lnydp‬⁩ parade today!

Perfect weather for a muddy Boxing Day dog walk in Reddish Vale…

Looking forward to seeing what I’m hoping is essentially English National Opera staging their “Readers Digest Condensed” version of La Traviata. & Yes, I’m aware that I’m showing my age with that statement…

What a joy the weather has been this weekend - not typical Bank Holiday weather at all - so we’re here in making the most of it.

My little Citroen Ami just got even cuter with the addition of orange wheels. Every time I park up folk come over to ask questions - today so far 5 different people…

The post box outside my daughter’s London flat is looking splendid, sporting a new coat of paint. This means the view from her 1st floor (2nd floor in USA terminology) kitchen is improved; from this window she looks down onto the post box, & before its repaint the top was covered in bird-poo as there is a beautiful tree right next to it. Last time I visited, I bought a wire brush, donned a mask & scrubbed the top removing all the droppings to improve her aerial view. I was a bit scared, I admit, that I’d be arrested for “defacing His Majesty’s post box” so I did it after dusk! Anyway, Royal Mail have now completed the make-over - hurrah!

Bagel loves walking (& river-swimming) in Reddish Vale, & to make the morning even more perfect, he’s just found as ball…

The river is too high & fast to risk letting a dog swim, so glad to find a perfect flooded area to please a water-loving lab…

Bagel is snoozing with his head resting on 3 of his favourite toys:

This is why Bagel doesn’t wear antlers & tinsel for his Christmas Day walk…

It’s Christmas Eve, is there a better excuse for a photo of dogs in seasonal gear…?

Our garden looks better when covered in snow. Bagel didn’t linger out there however - if there’s no walk or better still ball chasing on offer, then he’d rather be indoors in the warmth…

Beautiful Tower Bridge, as seen this morning from London Bridge.

Our local postbox is now sporting crocheted Christmas scene on its head. Bagel sat in front of it because he saw me get my phone out to take a picture & he’s a real poser…

I’m really enjoying guilt-free motoring in my cute Citroen Ami.
