Friday 20 December

The day brightened up very nicely and the afternoon was sunny and virtually cloudless. Went for a walk into the Castle Country Park, not far, just 2 km (just over 1 mile). However, it is one of my favourites around here, and my amble took me round all the familiar corners. A few changes here and there, but nothing dramatic. The sculptures in the park have all been wrapped in tarpaulins to protect them from the effects of frost and water.
