Here
at least, the New Year arrived with a growl or was it the old years
departing shot?
The
gauntlet of the 'First Light Challenge” was picked up by a few
hardy souls who ventured out in the pre-dawn light of a new year to
be faced with high winds and cloud from Hamilton to Tobermory.
So
much for inspiration..
After
standing on a windswept dock in LaSalle Park my little group happily
agreed to head out to find somewhere that might be open at 9:00 am on
this morning.
Bacon,
eggs and tea/coffee served somewhere warm!
We
found an oasis in AJ's in Waterdown were the smiles were as warming
as the tea.
Thank
you ladies for being there and thank you my friends old and new for
taking up my silly challenge and braving the new dawn with me.
A
New Years wish for one and all..
“And
ye, who have met with Adversity's blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen”.
