Goodbyes in the Rain . . . . .

. . . . it's that time of the year when people disappear in other directions, sometimes unbidden and unplanned. I'm off to stay with my daughter and her family in Arrowtown tomorrow, until New Year's Eve - that was planned and anticipated with joy. And R. has gone overseas for his brother's funeral. This photo suits the mood  :(

Thanks everyone for all the lovely response to yesterday's Nostalgia image - the light on the beach and the brooding clouds were exactly as it was. 


Can anyone tell me what happened to Spotlight? I can't work it out.
