I hope the colds have passed. I haven't caught any of The Hunt unfortunately, it's been a hectic few weeks so I seem to have missed them. There's always IPlayer though and I have heard rave reviews about it. I so agree about the BBC and their wildlife programmes.

I've only seen one of the David Attenborough programmes so far. It's amazing what goes on in the animal world! I thought it really fascinating to see how massive that forest is right up in the north.

I love to be out walking when the evenings get dark; it's nice to nosy into people's houses if they've failed to draw the curtains - or is that just me?!

Those shops do look so inviting. It's a magical time of year as the holidays approach and the weather turns colder. I especially love the pictures of the sailboats. It looks so serene and a great way to spend the afternoon. I have the opposite problem as you--I can't get to sleep and then end up sleeping later than I'd like. I'd love to be an early riser and go on morning runs--that way you get that quiet time with just you and nature before the rest of the world wakes up. Sounds wonderful! Hope you're having a lovely week, friend:)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482703385103047136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-25549381995602747712015-11-23T22:13:06.782+00:002015-11-23T22:13:06.782+00:00I should say Clevedon not Clifton ..oopsI should say Clevedon not Clifton ..oopsCoastal Rippleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355914194686166834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-22797208717543722922015-11-23T21:45:01.138+00:002015-11-23T21:45:01.138+00:00Lovely photos.

I chuckled when you wrote about football free days. We had our last match of the season Saturday. It was a heartbreaker. Anyhow, there will be a few indoor matches later in the winter, but concerned about "what to do". I have stuck the kid back into swimming and began the guitar lesson inquiries. Our household devolves into screen time without structure. No green to throw him onto nearby.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-295732978692043022015-11-23T20:46:04.398+00:002015-11-23T20:46:04.398+00:00That's beautiful winter light even though it l...That's beautiful winter light even though it looks cold.
