A string of thoughts

The frost has thickened on the spider webs along the avenue and they droop from shrubs, for all the world as if a child has been festooning the bushes with silly string.

Monday was cold, but we strimmed and aerated a small lawn and a resident robin came down for the pickings. 

Holly from the hedge brings its bright berries to our Christmas wreath.

Jerusalem artichokes in soup seasoned with garam masala - comfort food for cold days.

Saturday's job awaits - finishing a clearance; cutting privet.
 
Our leeks thicken slowly in the frost ready for Christmas Day.
