All doom & gloom on the home front!
Covid cases rising, Brexit stalling again with days left for a deal & we are still in Tier 3 with not much Christmas cheer around.
I’m not grumbling, there are so many worse off than us but it can get you down!
Never mind nature still carries on its lovely cycle.
Three good things:
1. Morning TV.
2. Watching talented young chefs winning Masterchef.
3. I have a new jacket!
We are muddling along here. Vaccines have started. What a year! I’m looking forward to it being over. And hoping for 2021 to be better. This is a pretty bed of this flower. Yes life (nature) goes on.
It doesn't look too good does it , but with figures still rising and no doubt a steeper rise in figures after Christmas we have to come to terms with these continuing restrictions ! I am trying to keep as cheerful as possible in my own cocoon surrounded with my decorations and spending time preparing for Christmas day - got to make the best of it one way or another !
Nature carries on regardless - love to see the broom in flower
This looks like gorse to me - all those prickles! Broom too is a nasty weed when it gets away. Hope its not too near your new garden! Good to hear about the vaccine!
Christmas is looking to be a bit of a damper here too with new cases in New South Wales, the first in weeks. The cases have been reported outside Sydney too and as far as the Central Coast. Hope it doesn't reach our area as this is quite a popular spot for visitors at Christmastime. A bit of a worry.
@onewing It is a worry Babs & the thing is all this lockdown stuff only damps it down for a while & in the meantime businesses are going bust & the economy is looking dire!
The only light in the tunnel is the vaccine which we are rolling out fast now but will take many months to get everyone done...everyone that even wants it that is....
The clouds look a bit foreboding! Our town’s hospital is overcrowded with Covid patients and out of ventilators. It really is best to just stay home! I’ve read that California is the epicenter now.
Lovely shot. All very true what you wrote. I guess the whole of Europe is on the same boat. Every day we read of more deaths and the number of people infected does not diminish.
Lovely capture Pat. I agree with you about not grumbling. I would love to be with family for Christmas but being on my own means I am being spoilt and there is always FaceTime. How lucky we are to be surrounded by countryside even if ours is under water at the moment!! I had my first vaccination this week. Very lucky in that our GP practice is the local centre.

I forgot the best GT, Harry is having his first vaccine next Tuesday & the second three weeks later! 😀
I'm thinking of giving up watching the news........
