Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Kingfisher at Croft


Following my recent disparaging comments on the November weather, today provided sunshine, blue skies, and cool still air, demanding to be taken advantage of with a walk, and I chose a section of the Teesdale Way from Blackwell to Croft along one side of the river then back to Blackwell through fields on the other side; stopping to eat my packed lunch on the wide bridge at Croft-on-Tees (to give it its full name) I gazed upstream and caught a glint of iridescent turquoise and red on a riverbank tree bough that resolved itself into a kingfisher for a few seconds before disappearing into the bushes in a swooping flash of blue.
