Walk by the lake

I went for my usual walk with the dog down to Bewl. Here are three things that might find their way into a positive new year poem.

1. It is warm enough in the sun to sit on our old bench - a good start to the new year.

2. High above the lake sea gulls are circling like dancers. I have to shield my eyes against the bright sun to watch them.

3. On the path up through the woods there is still snow under the trees. I crouch down to look at it closely and see that every crystal is a flower.
