We missed a day! So here are some snaps taken at the garden centre this morning. This is Tommy and Estella, two beautiful rescues from Crete.

Almost stepped on this little fella on the dog walk yesterday morning, scared the living daylights out of the dog when she sniffed it, and it jumped at her! 🤣 Not the best picture but taken under the light of the headtorch with the phone at 5.30am! 332/366 #commontoad #bufobufo #morningwalk #earlyriser #outandaboutwiththedogs #linkpathstleonards #aywmc281124 #aywmc365 #aywmc366 #aphotoaday

Stamco to Glyne Gap with the dogs this morning was a challenge in the wind. The waves were noisy and rough against the vetements.

I can never get enough of the reflections on Shornden Reservoir in the mornings on a clear, crisp day. The water is so still and the sky is reflected so perfectly. It is such a calm place to be, the benches provide a nice place to sit a reflect, to listen to the birds and wildlife waking up. I love it here, so lucky to have this on my doorstep. 322/366 #shorndenreservoir #reflectionsonthewater #peaceful #thankfulgratefulblessed ##outandaboutwiththedogs #morningwalk #aywmc171124 #aywmc365 #aywmc366 #aphotoaday

An impromptu Christmas shopping trip to @blackbrooks_gc, Sedlescombe, and a kind passerby was conned into taking this by Mum. A rare picture with me in the shot. Just to clarify that's me in the black on the left, I almost just said that's me in the santa hat, but I can already hear the comments from my FB friends 🤣

Took the dogs out to Rye Harbour this morning. What a cracking morning! Lovely long walk, nice to be on the beach again, Danny is not a fan of the shingle, but loves a change of scenery.

I will miss the sun on my back, the sand in my toes and my morning stroll along the beach. For now reality beckons and I must return to the cycle that is life. #weekendescapes #dosomethingnew #justdoit #ifnotnowthenwhen

There are some stunning places in the UK and in my opinion, Torquay now joins my list. It reminds me of Madeira in some respects, similar planting and care, lovely people and gorgeous weather. Totally different from my home town of Hastings. For a short break, so far it's been amazing....I ĺove it here and will be coming back! So much more to see and do here.

A gorgeous mid morning second walk with the dogs, fresh and beautiful. Nothing in comparison to the 5 degrees in the dark this morning.
