I am grateful to be surrounded by the beautiful countryside.  I am grateful to be surrounded by good neighbours who have become friends.  I am grateful to be able to care for our collection of animals and to have the space and soil in which to grow tasty vegetables and fruits.  And above all, in every way, I am grateful to be able to view and capture on the iPad the spectacular Bedfordshire skies.  Here is a selection from the past 12 months.

As an aside, I have to change the SIM card on my iPhone.  If this affects my ability to blog and you stop receiving these missives please email me next week and I will sort it out somehow!

Wishing one and all health and happiness in 2016.  Come and visit us and the animals, join us for a meal and look up at the sky.
