I guess, to a degree, we are all creatures of habit. We, for example, always seem to gravitate to Charlestown harbour on special mornings such as Christmas, New Year and so on.
On Christmas morning there weren't many people about so felt quite safe despite the Covid-19 rules and regulations.
The Georgian Pier House at Charlestown was closed but had attracted fifty or more white doves on the roof.
As for the stony east beach, the tide was in and not a person in sight.
Actually the first photo I snapped at Charlestown, below, was quite early. All was still and peaceful.
Hope your New Year is going well.
