Not a long a rambling summary of this year's personal highs and lows, just an air of realism that the chance to get out and about AND see something noteworthy in what remains of 2012 is slim.
Nonetheless, this ebbing year has had some notable ticks, and some misses, and all made better or bearable by the blogs of the great and good.
I should not single any one out, they are all superb, but I have found the Howdon Blogger and his Wallsendian side-kick a good giggle.
Thanks to one and all, and here's to a tickfull 2013.
