Captured at the end of the jetty at Burnham on Sea, Somerset. One little girl has her eyes firmly on the horizon and the other jumps for joy so a fitting image for New Year's Eve I think. Happy New Year to you all. Whatever lies over the horizon I wish you all good health and happiness in 2024. Life is a beach so whether you are leaving your own footprints in the sand, watching the sun setting on the horizon with a sense of wonder or feeling the breeze ruffling your hair, the sun on your back, sand between your toes or the first soft raindrops on your face I wish you joy and enrichment from these simple pleasures. I also wish you safe harbour in life's stormy times and light to brighten the darker moments. Thank you for all your continued friendship and support in 2023. Happy New Year!

Burnham beach at sunset. The tide is out and has left behind rockpools surrounded by rippled sand that looks like a strange, other-wordly landscape. Tinged with gold from the setting sun the still water is patterned by cloud reflections.

Sunset and wet sand on Burnham beach. The link is 'Wet Sand' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers www.youtube.com/watch?v=-66h7hHWx8Q The tide leaves puddles and trails of water in the sand that made me think of the second link I have added, -'Scar Tissue' also by the Red Hot Chili Peppers www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzJj5-lubeM

December Sunset Burnham Pier, the shortest pier in Britain, bathed in golden light. The pier is over 100 years old and was the first to be constructed with reinforced concrete. It is currently up for sale. The link is a little tongue in cheek, - here is Kirsty McColl and 'There's A Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis' www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL2GmaI3Xus
