Hogmany and New Years Day Cycle...

New Year 2021... the last day of 2020 went out on an overcast grey day which later in the afternoon turned to biblical rain!, It must have rained solid for 12 hours on New Years Eve, bouncing off the windows it was... We were tucked up inside with some booze and snacks staying safe indoors as advised by Government  Covid restrictions... 

At least we had got out a short New Years Eve cycle around John Muir Country Park (JMCP) with the mid morning low tide...

A sprinkling of snow covered the sand above the high tide line...

We were soon home warming up as it was only 0.5C to 1C max all morning... Home and i quickly edited up a wee film, taking stills from the film which are posted  above...

Song is `L` by Tycho,

So with a Hogmany in the house together we watched an hour or so of some of our favourite Isolation Cycle films we did together in what has been for us both an amazing year.

2020 has not been such a good year for so many with people losing their loved ones, jobs lost and hopefully next year will be an improvement for many...

Up early on New Years day and clear skies!, the rain had passed and it was cold but not quite so nippy as the day before and we more or less repeated the same morning ride around JMCP...

Here is another wee film under a lot better light today, Song is `Love On A Real Train` by Tangerine Dream,

We were soon home and midday went a drive to Barnes Ness in the Jeep, 

And here it is! It is a 1965 French Hotchkiss Willys M201 Army Jeep, painted by the 1st UK owner who imported it in 2005 in WW2 USA markings...

Need to get some more film of the Jeep in use and will soon do a blog post on the Jeep and it's history etc...

After that an evening outdoors in the garden with G`s son and partner with the fire box roaring away keeping us warm as the temps dropped below Zero under the star lit sky...

Happy New Year everyone!  and best wishes for 2020!

More soon...
