Tina went for a haircut early and we sat and did a crossword puzzle together when she returned. After lunch and sorting the bird water and fox food Tina took me out for a ride to Bridlington. We went to the garden centre first and amazingly left empty handed which is probably a first! The trees were stunning in the car park with the sun catching them.
Then Tina drove to a piece of the coast we hadn’t been to before, just between Bridlington town centre and Sewerby Hall. It was a really lovely spot.
50p to park and nowhere to get a drink so a cheap trip out in lovely weather, if a bit on the cold side. The sun looked absolutely huge on the way home and very bright, took these pics from the car.
I got this great calendar for Christmas, full of unusual words and the antiquated and obscure name days, so yu may be getting little snippets on the blog.
No unusual entries for tomorrow’s date, just New Year’s Day and First Foot Day. The unusual word I have picked is Ombrellino (n): A small parasol, canopy, or sunshade.
Wishing everyone a very happy new year. See you next year!
It was bitter cold here this morning too when I went out to fetch the bins in. Didn’t venture out any more after that! Heating has been on most of the day too. Think I might sort out the thermals for tomorrow, it’ll be cheaper!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out with the Rev again. I quite liked Bridlington and Sewerby Hall when we went ages ago. Nice bit of sun you had for the trip too. Looks great on those trees! In fact all the pics in the sun look good. I particularly like the first on from the car, very nice.
I’ll look forward to learning a few new words. I didn’t know Ombellino, but I do now.
Decided I’m not going to read the blog again until next year now 😊
Let’s hope I manage to post a reply this year!
DeleteThe sunlight was lovely today, made everything look good.
The words are from various archaic sources, some that I recognise aren’t given quite the same meaning as we have now.
