Today...

I started the day by trekking around the garden!

‘Why not make a wreath?’ I thought!

              It’s amazing what you can do with what’s growing around you.....

              and I have this delightful, delicate, winter Clematis in the garden;

             Nich gave this to me, a couple of years ago.

              It’s come into its own, this winter, and has rambled all over the place!

 

             That done, we waited for a delivery as well as visits from various family 

              members to do some ‘doorstep present swapping’,

             before taking the usual walk.....

                        

                         This Beech is such a stunning colour.

                         

                         In contrast, the delicate, pale green leaves of the spindle 

                         are highlighted against the dark, tree trunks.

The country churchyard is looking lovely, with

many graves adorned with pretty Christmas offerings.

This stunning, shuttlecock fern has become 

quite a landmark...just one of many on our walk.

And as we reach home...wow!

The Pyracantha hedge is a real beauty this year! 

Who needs baubles?!

                                              What a lovely day! 😁
