Leave them alone...

...and they will come home
bringing their tails behind them.

Freddie is staying for a few days at North Berwick with Donald and we all enjoyed a New Years day walk along the beach.

It's beginning to feel a wee bit chilly again.
It's amazing how relative everything is and when the temperature soared to a few degrees above the freezing horizon, it seemed positively warm.

Tomorrow we will delight the 'Three Little Bells' with the company of Freddie, at least, that is the plan, fingers crossed.
