Before the rain...

...on Boxing Day.

A leisurely breakfast at the start of a much more relaxing day than yesterday. We decided on a pre-lunch walk before the rain forecast for the afternoon. The sun was still shining as we went up the track past the Youth Hostel, but by the time we reached the Common the sky was black and there was some serious moisture in the air, so we decided to shorten the walk, circumnavigate the Common, and go down the way we'd come. A wise decision as it happens! A red squirrel with amazingly tufty ears was on one of the feeders. Too far away for a decent Blip, but I can't resist posting it as an extra anyway!
