Not even a break at Christmas...

My Christmas present (to myself I must add) came early this year - a brand new pair of Scarpa walking boots - and they are fantastic - probably the best pair of footwear I've ever had (how sad am I....).

This year we decided to go away for a few days over Christmas - down to Brixham in South Devon - well I had to wear those new boot in didn't I.... and some how walking on the cliffs, over looking the sea on Christmas Day seemed so much nicer in Brixham than at home. Well that was my excuse and I'm sticking with it!

And so on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and Friday 27th the boots were duly "broken in". The deserted stretch of beach over at Elberry Cove was the perfect place to stop for a picnic on Boxing Day (a girl still has to eat) and a turkey sandwich tastes so much nicer on the beach...
