Because it’s the first day of a New Year.Fresh thoughts on old dreams; maybe even new dreams.
The old calendar is taken down and replaced. This year we have a huge one with glossy monthly views of Brisbane, sent to us by a special friend who emigrated a year ago; one day we hope to visit - a new dream.
My 2010 diary is put away on the bookshelf, a smart new one goes in the handbag.365 blank pages ...
Today’s entry might be remembering yesterday, as we ended 2010 by driving down to the beach at Porthcurno. Thankfully no snow or ice but deep sand, cold winds and high waves climbing the surrounding cliffs.
On the way home we stopped to see the famous Christmas lights in the small Cornish village of Mousehole where many, many visitors descend. Yesterday was no exception.
The lights hang around the village and harbour walls. They are far better than the sample above, but I just wanted to send you greetings from Cornwall.
You cannot visit Mousehole, anytime of the year, without looking out at the rough seas beyond the harbour and remembering the many lives lost over the years; sobering thoughts before the popping of champagne on New Year’s Eve.
I've spent the first day of 2011 doing what I love best, writing. Editing and adding to the various ongoing projects which I hope I will be able to share soon.
I hope your day was happy too.
Until the next time,
Best New Year Wishes to you – PP.
