Boxing Day

The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day in the UK and some other Commonwealth Countries, and is a national holiday.

It's tradionally spent either:
a) shopping in the sales
b) going for long walks in the vain belief that this will cancel out the huge amounts of food you ate the day before.

Jane and I opted for the latter, and went for a bracing walk on Holkham beach, on the North Norfolk coast. With a strong north-easterly and nothing between us and Norway it was exceptionally bracing!
