Catch up

Erk
I woke up at 0430 this morning feeling more awake; brighter than I have felt for a few weeks. November has a lot to answer for.
Without any work commitments to think about, we went out to stare at the rough, churned up water; the swell of the past few days of stormy weather still running. Another good day to be ashore.
Hoardes of ponies were out along the roads of the still slightly flooded New Forest. They must have been glad for a break in the wet weather and a chance to come out of the woodland and block everyone's way.
There were also little gangs of pigs tearing around. They were brought into the forest a few months ago, as this Summer's unusually consistent warmth has created an abundance of acorns. Whilst highly poisonous to the ponies, they are the makings of piggy heaven and I very much doubt whether anyone will be able to catch them until they've snaffled the very last one.
Overfalls kept breaking over the quay. Fur found this particularly amusing, as whilst they weren't big enough to sweep anyone off their feet, I thought otherwise

Sometimes, I think there is a blog connection, where we all have simmilar highs and lows-- it is really interesting. Love the pics.

Damn that's a great picture of the horse in the road. Inspiring almost. Nope, actually inspiring. Great work.

LOL @ Rising!

That last pic of the horse: was he running, or was it merely your view of him through icy/foggy windows? :)
