The first New Year's letters

It seems to become a new tradition to spend time with Beertje's godfather before New Year.  We read New Year's letters early in 2019 and last Christmas,  they came from an outdoor snow visit in the east of Belgium. 

This time they came to the east of Belgium again but there was only rain instead of snow.  
Beertje felt too timid to read his New Year's letter but he was easily forgiven by his godfather and they exchanged gifts. 

We spent a cosy afternoon together and got outside despite the rain.  There's no bad weather, only bad clothes, they say...well there are plenty of bad clothes to walk in the rain but good friends sure make up for that.  And nothing so nice as to warm up again afterwards at home.
