2016 revisited: November and December

The last of my 2016 posts - two months together, as there's not much I haven't blogged already!

Aaaarrrgh, me hearties!

We celebrated two fortieth birthdays (not mine!) in November. I was very proud of the ridiculous quantities of decorations I managed to find. I think my favourite was this pirate and sea-themed banner, which is customisable for any age. Genius.

I do like a crepuscular ray.

We went for a very windy (but beautiful) walk along the beach from Hastings to Bexhill with a couple of friends.

I find this image of an empty patch on Hastings Pier kind of compelling.

I might as well share this video of the waves again. I find it quite soothing. Maybe you need soothing, too.

As the days got shorter and the weather colder, we scaled back to smaller trips in order to get outside without the pressure of completing long walks. We climbed up East Hill in Hastings . . .

Run, doggo!

Heroic Dan!

 . . . and went for a walk near Herstmonceux with our local LGBT walking group.

One misty, moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather . . .

Blurry photo made blurrier for fun.

Hello, moth!

Herstmonceux Castle. Fancy. And covered in birds.

Later in December, we headed up to Norfolk for a week-long holiday. We stopped off in North London for a night, then broke the next day at Wandlebury. We'd briefly vsited Wandlebury a couple of months before and I wanted to check it out again.

I also wanted to go for a walk every day in Norfolk - and we almost managed it!

A bit of home decoration at the holiday house in Norfolk. Good suggestion. Beach it is!

That's it! I quite enjoyed this reflection on what was a pretty good year (personally, if not globally). You can find my other 2016 year in review posts here: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October.
