Highlight

We celebrated the new year by going on a night-time walk in the woods - with some friends and 4 dogs! I thought it would be scary but it was one of the highlights of my year. We heard a lot of rustling in the undergrowth and some hooting owls but didn't actually see any wildlife - I think they were all watching us. Can't wait to do it again.

    You captured the feeling well here. I'm drawn to walk in though, apprehensive about it.

    Happy New Year!!
