Monday 2 January

Although the day started cloudy, the sun came out in the afternoon and it was quite bright and sunny. As I type this, the sun has set 40 minutes ago and darkness has fallen. Nonetheless, even those 15 minutes make a noticeable difference already. Went out for a 7 mile walk with my dad round the woods and heathlands to the east and north of here, starting at 1.30pm and returning at the stroke of 4pm. It's easy to clock up the miles round here - but beware of the steep inclines.
