I hope you all had a great Christmas and a wild (or quiet) New Year's Eve, depending on which you prefer. 😀 For me, as usual I slept through midnight French time, then was woken by Keith to watch the fireworks at UK midnight an hour later. My brother had left earlier in the day to go back to England after spending Xmas with us.
We had a lovely dawn this morning, and I took a few photos with K's phone. Then funnily enough, on Radio 2 they were talking about it being a thing in Japan to see the first sunrise of the new year. Can't remember what it was called, but I have photos of it - and not only that, what was most surprising was to have the moon in view too!
The moon, just rising up into the band of cloud! The sun was just behind the wall on the right.
Again, a cropped version. Best clicked on to open up larger to see the details.
Well that's it from me - enjoy the rest of your day. I'm looking forward to having roast beef - not French beef which is always tough, but delicious tender Irish beef via Bacon in the Box, a mail order Irish food company. You can get British food from Tescos through them too, but being Irish and part of the EU, it bypasses the ridiculous Brexit rules on food from the UK. And then there is a new series of Traitors this evening. Wonderful. Happy New Year! 😁




I hope you had a good Christmas Mandy. Lovely to see the photos of the dawn with the moon :) You have beautiful views from your home. We had a beautiful sky here last night at sunset - all pinks, blues and golds. Wishing you a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year Mandy. You live in a great spot for early morning landscape shots. These are great, especially the second one. I think the cost of the London firework display was an absolute terrible waste of money. Especially when you consider the amount of ex service personnel and others that live on the streets of that city during that period. Perhaps the Mayor should try it for a while. Sorry, getting political now. Hope all goes well for you in 2026 Mandy.XX
