We had very quiet? new year's eve and day. Just like we did last year. Is it called getting old? I love being chilled out and peace, no more parties for me. Having say that, I would love to do Ibiza before get too old. Marcus wants to do it as well, so as some of our friends.... I watched the Cream video on YouTube, wow! the club was massive! Now, I'm feeling like closed phobics... Too may people in confined space, makes me feel sick. Mind you, even my clubbing days, I didn't really like the confined space till.....when I was off my face. Then, I didn't care anythinng after that. Well, I wonder if I could last all nite without any substances even alcohol....Bear in mind, I'm not twenty something anymore, I'm getting into my so called middle age... Well, I can try! ☺
We went to bed after 12pm, as soon as said happy new year to each other, Marcus quickly was off to bed... So I followed. Following morning, we had sunny day for a change. It was lovely. Still, some places were flooded, fields were very wet and looked like a lake.
We wondered, where shall we go for a walk? Few suggestions, but Clair sounded perfect to me as we hadn't been for ages, I wanted to go.
I like the place, cute quaky village, some houses looked haunted...very old indeed!!!! Saw lots of posh people with dogs. They look funny, they always wear same green jacket, hunter wellies, green hat, speak with funny posh accent. Clair is a posh village, but it also has lovely cafes serve teas and cakes! AGAIN, we forgot take our dear flask....when can we get to use it??? Keep forgetting... Is it again, called old age?
Anyway, parked our car at the car park, free for today, new year's day... We started walking along the river, fed some ducks, they didn't look hungry at all. Swans were. They liked being hand fed...
Walked towards old railway road, we took left turn into houses, walked over the first railway bridge.
We saw a old disused mill at the end of the road. walked past Clair Mill house(very posh house with huge garden and field), into their field...It was open for public footpath to a farmer's field next. Cor blimey, it was really muddy, I could hear my wellies go deep into the mud.
This is dis used part of the mill. Water running inside moving really fast!
Lovely field!
Due to rain we've been having, this river is now mucky and water level is very high.
Anyway, we followed the footpath, now we came out from the farmer's field onto the road. Turn left, walked about 10mins or so, we found a footpath and bridleway. So we took bridleway, looked more interesting... We walked another 20mins or so, found a cute little house/bungalow in the middle of nowhere! Here, we also found footpath, they were everywhere. we found some people who took second footpath we found, into another field. Wondered where it lead to. Those people seemed to have some maps, therefore, hopefully, they knew where they were going... We didn't and we don't most of the time. I now get used to Marcus's "walk", not knowing where to go, more like wondering rather than walking....anyhow, it's fun and adventure. I didn't get grumpy, why? Because, I wasn't hungry.
After an hour or so, we walked back where we came from, it was getting cloudy and dark already. Found many footpaths in the area, maybe it is good idea to get walking map? That gives us an idea where to go.
When I got back home on wed 2nd, which is today, I spoke to my mum. She left message on my landline. I think her and my dad are missing me, and, I want to see my parents. Hopefully this year I can go home & see them.... My mum told me she's now 67! Co, blimey. It was her b'day today. they usually got for walk to where emperor lives(Koukyo) in Tokyo. It's very funny, everytime I speak to them I can feel as if I was in Tokyo with them. I might not be able to go other places this year....I can't do everything....
Everywhere now gone back to normal, noisy, busy, and chaos for Jan sale....
