December Round-up
I didn’t really get out much in December. At least not until the end, due to the ongoing virus I caught in November. As you can imagine I was pretty fed up with staying in, so every now and again I decided I was a bit better and ventured out, only to return to coughing the next day.
The first of these trips was to the Larmer Tree Christmas Fair so that I could hopefully get some present shopping done and have a quick look at the gardens. It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed the drive through the Dorset countryside. It just felt great to be out having been cooped up for a couple of weeks. The Gardens were created in the 19C and are full of Raj inspired follies.
My next outing was to London to see ‘All the Angels’ at the Sam Wanamaker Theatre. This is a replica Jacobean playhouse that is part of the Globe complex. It is lit only by candles. If I didn’t actually have a temperature there was no way I was going to miss this!
Apart from going to the carol service at the cathedral, that was about it until after Christmas when we headed off to Brighton to spend a few days with my mother-in-law. The weather was about as good as it could be for an English December and there were some fabulous sunsets. I had a play with some of the apps on my iPhone too.
Finally we headed over to Beachy Head where we watched the hang gliders swooping over the edge of the cliff with Eastbourne Pier in the distance.
Celebrating positive ageing. Having fun engaging with my creativity, seeking new adventures and following my dreams. 
Brilliant photos! They were exciting and full of color. Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks Rachel
I’m so sorry you had such a nasty few weeks. I love the app photos playing is such fun…
It really is!
It’s hard to be sick, especially when there’s a lot going on that you want to do. It looks like you were able to get to some interesting activities and places after all. I hope you’re over whatever it was and that the new year is starting off healthier than the old one ended!
Me too – thanks Lee
I hope you’re feeling better. For someone who didn’t get out much, you sure did make the most of the outings you were able to do. I especially love those photos of the hang gliders.
Thanks Carol – the hang-gliders were an unexpected bonus!
