a new year and some old memories

First day of a new year and the sun was shining down to help stave of a bit of the cool breeze. Another lovely day on which to be alive and outdoors getting some fresh air.

Went to St Ives and walked more of the guided busway, again lots of people out doing the same. Just as well the the guided buses were having a day off. 

Some lovely views over land I have walked many times before as a boy. And then the calls of birds to take me back to those times and back to the present. Wigeon, Teal, Gadwall and Golden Plover again. Happy memories of then and now.

Got back to St Ives as dusk was falling but just with enough light to go up to the town centre. I had to take the next picture for Dads sake as we grew up he would say to us, do you know what old Cromwell is pointing at, as you looked balnkly he would position you against the wall in just the right spot on the market place and tell you to look and see.

I hope Oliver will forgive the picture, from the look of things the local lads have been decorating him again.
