Today was my first day back at work after a nice long Christmas holiday. Waking up at 6am was brutal after all the nice long sleeps of the holidays. I am sure I heard an owl hooting! Still, it is getting lighter every day.

I hope you don’t mind but I used a photo from your blog today! On a similarly themed post! Brutal day. Ugh. Cx
Allegedly! but it definitely seemed darker this morning. Darker and colder. I’m going to miss the twinkly xmas lights.
Happy new year, Alice.
I’m sure we’ll get used to the usual routine pretty quickly. It is the first day at work today for me, and I only had a few hours of sleep last night…ugh!
