We went back to Lou and Rhys’s and had a leisurely breakfast and then went for our Boxing Day walk with the dogs. We walked along the beach, all the way to Reculver to the King Ethelbert Inn and sat outside in the sun having a drink. It’s a dog friendly pub and there were masses of dog walkers there. They also have huge dog water bowls outside.
We walked back along the cliff tops.
My eyes must have been working exceptionally well as on the way there I found a watch on the pavement, which Lou is going to advertise locally. I don’t think it was worth much but may be something sentimental for someone. Then along the cliff tops I found a £20 note and a £10 note folded together and no one was around. I guess the new notes do slip and must have fallen out of someones pocket. I think maybe even blown in the wind. So, when we were home I gave the littlies £10 each.
In the evening we drove home. We managed our first Christmas without Torin, I certainly had my moments but we managed. I frequently thought of us being with him last year, the memories we made then.
Thought for the Day – “Christmas presents come and go, Christmas memories last a lifetime.”
