Dipper

Damp start to the morning. A wee walk around the park on my own after breakfast. Quite cloudy with some light rain. Once home, it is straight sown in to town to do some Christmas shopping. I manage to visit one shop before heading to a café for morning coffee. The weather starts clearing up after coffee, and the weather is quite nice for the rest of the shopping. Didn't get as much as I thought I would, but that was because some of the shops are closed on Monday. Head home for lunch

After lunch, a nice sunny walk to the Braidburn Valley Park. The weather feels a lot fresher than in the morning. It was a surprise to see this dipper in the stream near the entrance to the park. It was calling to another dipper. On the way home, even though we left after 20 past 2, it felt quite dark on the way home. And quite dark by the time we got home. And it isn't even 3:15.
