First moment of 2015

We'd a plan to go for a walk this morning - a lazy walk - but a walk all the same.
We fell asleep rocked by the gale-force winds & were serenaded by rain hammering onto the van roof, but we were happy in the knowledge we had a plan.
Sat in the walkers bar for breakfast the next day, already soaked after the 100yard dash from the car park our plan didn't seem so great, but kitted up - out we headed. It was truly grim - the valley floor was flooding & bits of tree were flying around - but we ambled along chatting, laughing & buoyed up by knowing we were heading for another pub. Arriving in Chapel Stile to find the pub shut (on New Years Day!) we turned back, into the weather, little choice but to return whence we came.
And then, as so often happens, the cloud lifted for a moment, shafts of light broke through & today's Blip was grabbed.
