Xmas Day walkabout with Fiona downstream from Durham City . 6 miles of bliss . Coffee and Danish Pastry break sat on log on recently flooded muddy riverbank. Lovely. Two Goosanders floated by. Amazing sawbills with serrated beaks to catch and keep fish! Pacey walk on great path under steam puff cloudy sky . Two more Goosanders seen up close at Durham Center. Amazing . City solemn . Cathedral Evensong beautiful. Jesus' birth . Gods Day. "Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him." I have turned and I beam! God bless Christmas and all the people who celebrate it!
