Today was such a day of contrasts. Spent the morning fighting our way through the supermarket throng to pick up a few things for later in the week, and for someone who hates crowds it was a bit of a nightmare. It always amazes me not only how much busier the supermarkets are but how much people buy, considering that they are only closed on Christmas Day. Experience told me a long time ago that we eat far too much at this time, and end up throwing good food away - which is terrible when there's so many in this world who will go without.
This afternoon I took the dog for a walk by our local estuary and there was just me, Tan, the setting sun over the sea and lots of sea birds chattering to each other..........shear bliss!
I do wish we could get the Christmas celebrations into focus a little more. Yes, it's good to have family around us and put on a few good meals, but there's so much more to it than that!
