Monday 31st December (Back to Life)

The year of 2012 is drawing to a close. The sky is darkening, the light is fading and Mr. Kite is preparing himself for 2013 and another year of cycling and bird-watching amongst other things.

Today Mr. Kite cleaned his bicycle, checked his saddle-bags and put the finishing touches to his diary and planner. Tomorrow is the start of a New Year and new adventures. There will be birds to identify, roads to cycle down and a world full of nature. Mr. Kite will be there writing and recording his sightings and his thoughts.

So now that it is dark outside and the birds have gone home to roost Mr. Kite will draw the curtains and shut the outside world out until 'the new dawn'.
