Chasing Gulls

B and I went for our traditional Christmas Day walk on the beach this morning.  Goodness me, it was cold!  Only 4 degrees C with a very brisk North wind.  We were commenting about how cold it was as we walked along the tide line towards Cromer...then we turned around to go back and were facing into the wind.  Then it began to rain, which felt like needles on our faces.  I'd forgotten what it was like to lose the feeling in my fingers!  This dog didn't seem to notice the cold and rain...he was too busy chasing a gull along the sand!

In contrast, a couple of hours later, I was settled down in the warm sipping a glass of champagne.  A real treat (see extra).
