Emergence
After many days and many nights of sitting, eating, sitting, drinking, eating etc. It was time to face the outside world and attempt activity. Cold Turkey (as in the weaning oneself off unhealthy and addictive substances variety) is never easy, but we had to break the cycle.
Laden down with pockets full of Quality Streets (you need to ease yourself into new habits gently), and a backpack containing a hip flask of Sloe Gin circa 2016, slices of Christmas cake and some token satsumas to make up our five a day, we set off on a marathon hike along Watership Down. It is such a beautiful place, even in darkest December. I've been walking, cycling and riding Watership for well over thirty years and hold it very dear. Today was no exception and the two and a half hours it took for us to hike along Wayfarers flew by.
I did have noble intentions not to imbibe anything alcoholic today...but as the yard arm approaches, I feel that having walked all that way, and then followed it up by a foray into the hustle and bustle of the sales - coming home with a plethora of clearance bedding - an exception may have to be made.
