Closing the Books for 2017

I was listening to a podcast The Good Life Project and the last episode of the year was called Closing the Books - an accounting phrase but used to suggest that a physical ceremony' is a good way to move forward into the New Year, after the 'reckoning' and reviewing.  
I did manage a walk into Wandsworth - not sure if that counts! - but thought it would be nice to make a physical/online reminder of some of my favourite bits of 2017.

Wildlife in the community garden

March blossom

May - sightseeing in London

July - cycling in France

September - a stay at The Mermaid in Rye.

Including a beautiful walk through the bird reserve

October - Mexico

Chichen Itza

Seeing flamingos close up

Swimming in a beautiful cenote

Seeing a baby sting ray in the wild

Finally - after years of searching - seeing a nest of turtles hatch

Floating down a river

December - first trip to Poland 

Happy 2018 Everyone!
