It was very festive in Lliber square with the Christmas decorations
It was very cold when we started, and everyone was well wrapped up
There were 25 of us walking today
It should have been 29, but four cancelled the day before
This happens most weeks, making it difficult to plan who can walk
We had two new members today, Isabelle and Patje
Both are Belgians and have moved here recently
Pierre and Jenny wore their Christmas jumpers on their last walk before the break
We were tempted, but did not want to be the only ones to do so
Jan did bring a Christmas hat, which she then wore
But the strong winds kept blowing it off
Fortunately the sun was quite strong during our banana break
But it was still too cold to sit for very long
And we avoided the picnic site where it was shaded
In favour of the "tin man" which was in the direct sun
Except for these three who braved the cold for the impressive view
Despite the sun most of us needed our extra layers throughout the walk
And the pace was faster than normal because of the cold wind
Though we did have short breaks to admire the views
However we arrived back in Lliber about 10 minutes early
Fortunately the square is a real sun trap
So it was very pleasant having our after walk drink there
Another very enjoyable walk
