At least it is

not a rat ... 

A daughter's first pet since leaving home .. 

The work on the sand bar

at tide out in an area of outstanding natural beauty. This beautiful country with so many places not everyone can access.

The many people and I have not seen so many dogs in one place for a while. A bit of a lull at times where I could take a photo in peace. The variety of dogs though 'twas amazing.

A time out

from the perpetual tasks laden from another time in place. The colour spectacular in nature. The colours in bold of the festive season. The social chit chat. The tactile feel of much elsewhere in events special. The activities supported in the interweave of time doing festive crafts with newly met people. 

It certainly left an imprint and impacted thy knowledge of what can be achieved under duress. The gift of time, in speciality of those warm smiles once again, reciprocated. The fond care shown from those not given enough time for them to expand their experiences to beyond their personal space ... 

Other anxious in the noise outside.
