Happy New Year, Meg. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Just got home ourselves from a sunshiny week in Anglesey. Feeling a bit odd having been away from blogging for over a week. Doubtless will be submerged again fairly soon 🙂
Never been to Anglesey but funnily enough a friend is hiring a cottage there in March and suggested we might like to pop across. Mick looked askance as it’s a bit of a long ‘pop’! They’re in Sheffield so not so bad. Anyway- I digress 🙂 It’s a beautiful photo and gives me the opportunity to send you a New Year hug 🙂
Ah, sweet Ark. Thanks for all those very fine wishes, which I wholeheartedly reciprocate. And I was indeed a little blurry while in Wales – though mostly due to an astonishing amount of sunshine – 3 whole days on the trot. Made one’s spirits (of the non-bottled variety) turn cartwheels and somersaults.
Looked like it was throwing it down at White Heart Lane in London when Spurs played Crystal Palace.
It hit 31 down here. Over at John Zs spot, just outside Sao Paulo, he was melting at 37.
Then a quick hop skip and a jump up north to Canada where Notes to Ponder is busy shoveling 3 inches of snow from her driveway!
Don’t you just love the internet!
So much more than ”fair weather” friends, wouldn’t you agree!
:=)
Oh I do agree, Ark. I still don’t know why it’s so interesting though – everyone else’s weather, but it always is.
Beautiful image, and very welcome. Happy New Year Tish.
Dear Tish
I found your site by chance and thought I’d get in touch. I just wanted to let you know I enjoy following your writings, musings, knowledge, allotment trials, admissions, images, humour and some interests in common in relation to a sense of place. Thank you, yours looking for a safe place to keep that light. Kind Regards Denise
How very nice to meet you, Denise. Thank you for accidentally finding me, so I could find you. Your blog is very beautiful, and I’m fascinated by the time you spent at Erddig. (Was there in the summer). Also your research sounds v. intriguing too – the link between archaeology and art and place. Am now following to keep track of you 🙂
Thank you Tish, it’s nice to meet you too and it’s also very nice to be found. I loved being at Erddig and did a large amount of research on and off site unearthing all sorts of hidden treasures and stories in the landscape. My remit was more an archaeology of media working within the house and collections to assist in interpreting the landscape although I did encounter many escarpments, earthwork boundaries, ditches, gullies and ridge and furrow (well if I squinted hard enough with my head at a jaunty angle in the right light). Thanks for stopping by and for your comment on my blog. Best keep at it knowing there is an eye on me!
Oh, don’t stop!
I shall gladly share the light. I’m a glutton for light! Lovely to see the sunset at 5 pm tonight 🙂
bonne année et surtout bonne santé, Tish! 🙂 my very best for 2017: joy, hope and tons of inspiration… friendly thoughts & cheers! Mélanie Bedos-Nicolas

HAPPY NEW YEAR TISH!!! as always, your photography is gorgeous, breathtaking and beautiful.
Hello, Mitchell. Happy New Year to you, too.
What a mellow photo, fitting indeed for dark days. I hope your 2017 is wonderful, despite.

Thank you, Tabi. And the same to you. Also your bread-making post is definitely inspiring me to get baking – though sadly have no dinky tins.
Hehe aw thank you so much!! Aw that’s a shame 😦 But Thank you!
Godt nyttår!

Hugs back, Jo. Ynys Mon is definitely worth the hop. Lots of fab beaches and walks, and a railway. Shall be posting more tempting pix.
Such a beautiful shot. One can hardly tell the slight blur from the after effects of champagne!
Absolutely everything of the best, dear Tish.
May all things be rosy for you and your fella,
And here’s to you penning a million seller.

Received and duly stored in the light box – HNY (again 😉 )
Lovely image.
Need to keep stoking it up too 🙂
I believe we will need this magic light, Tish! Happy New Year!
🙂
The safest place to keep it – is to share it with others so they remember it too. Beautiful photo and thought, Tish.
You are right, Claudette – the sharing is key 🙂
Wow, really amazing picture! Well done 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I’m sending that light out everywhere I can, Tish. Thanks for sharing it. May your 2017 be the best one ever!

That’s a very fine wish, Janet. Thank you.

Such a beautiful capture to start the New Year. Thank you for that, Tish, and I hope 2017 is every bit as special for you and yours.
More power to us all in our creative pursuits. The doing and the making keep darkness away too.
🙂 Happy New Year, Tish! May it be happy and productive in every sense!
Hello, dear Paula. Sending you a hug.
Wow! More please! Happy New Year.
You might be sorry you said that, Kate 🙂
I will, it’s treasure!

It was fabulous here too. I watched it while picking sprouts at the allotment.
