Frosty frog. Not a real one, don’t worry.

I know it’s only January, but this will win window display of the year 2023. Burt’s Books in Swindon take a bow.

Why are cast iron London street bollards lining the cliff paths at Durlston Country Park, Dorset? They were brought back as ballast by empty ships returning from transporting Purbeck stone to be used for building in the capital city. When the ships arrived back in Dorset they unloaded their London ballast. Great Victorian recycling!

Hi everyone. I’m gearing up for an alcohol free year in 2023 and I know I’ll miss an occasional 🥂 in the first few months. So if anyone has any recommendations for good 0% alcohol wines (white, rose and sparkling), let me know. Much appreciated.

I still have a couple of coaching-by-the-sea sessions available for charity leaders in spring 2023. Today I went for a walk at one of the locations. If you’d like to join me here to reflect and prepare for the year ahead, check out my website https://bythewaves.co.uk/by-the-sea

I saw a peregrine falcon today. Beautiful sight.

My last meeting before Christmas is today with someone called Carol from a music charity. Total fluke. I’ll be giggling about that all day.

Even my printer thinks it’s too cold to work today.

Night night everyone. #dogsofmastadon
