An auspicious start to the New Year – the sun came out this morning and it stayed up in the sky the whole day. What a pleasure. We visited a local village and had a pub lunch and a walk with Pickles.
We ushered in 2013 gently and quietly… with a film and a visit to a tapas bar. The restaurant was crowded and so AP and I sidled up to the bar and ordered our small tapas dishes and I sat on the high bar stool, swinging my legs back and forth while discussing matters of life and future plans with AP. I watched parties of 6 and 8 come and go — some of the women were dressed to the nines in glitter and sequence and tall shoes. It was fun to watch but I wasn’t sorry that we chose an uncomplicated and quiet evening together.
And now I welcome January with a sense of relief. It’s here. The bare bones of winter. The cold, wet days with no holiday spirit. Bring it. I’ve got a pile of books stacked by my bed and plans for a bingo party with the neighbor kids at the end of the month.

Nice photos of your pretty little town. Here in Florida we call that Epcot, and it’s all made out of stucco.
