I'm very impressed with your tide clock, that would have been amazingly useful when we still had my parent's house as high tide in Portsmouth Harbour meant the inland creek would be flooded and impassable by bike or car. Best wishes to your husband for a speedy recovery - or should that be a speedy operation? Current news about the NHS must be ringing true in your household!

Beautiful photos of the frost, we've had some hard frosts here too even though it's quite rare. I do like the idea of reading water and also looking at tracks in the sand, very much in touch with our surroundings and mother nature. <br />We have a tide clock (although we don't need it here) which we got for our last house-very handy. Naughty Tavi...the smell is terrible. So sorry to hear your husband can't drive now, I hope his op will be soon so you can enjoy your walks all together.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-54442427537088779692017-01-13T18:06:30.004+00:002017-01-13T18:06:30.004+00:00Lovely post and lovely pictures...I wish I could m...Lovely post and lovely pictures...I wish I could move there at once :)<br />Have a happy weekend, take care!<br />TittiHWIT BLOGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851355663006106726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-89803762516744171582017-01-11T12:23:41.834+00:002017-01-11T12:23:41.834+00:00I did smile at Tavi running in circles and his squ...I did smile at Tavi running in circles and his squeaky ball! I used to love following tracks when I was a child and knew where all the wild things lived near my home as a result. I love your tide clock. Sorry to hear about your husband's discomfort.

Do you know who said it? Or is it your own quote?! I should have recognized the mystery tracks because Gabriel does the same thing in the snow--run in circles and turns on "a dime" and heads back. And when he was squeaking the ball, Gabriel became very interested. Whenever we have snow overnight I love to look outside to see all the animal tracks. It's amazing how many there are. It looks like Grand Central Railroad Station!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-86420492593500415672017-01-09T11:01:05.397+00:002017-01-09T11:01:05.397+00:00I love that someone takes the time to write a book...I love that someone takes the time to write a book as such; we need reminders to LOOK DOWN as well as up, to take notice of the forgotten, to learn from a stranger's footprints where they've been.
