Almost gone.

The beech tree has now lost most of it's leaves, and the lovely shapes of the branches are now visible once more.

A very dull and dismal day, but still seems very warm.

Had a trip to M&S where MrC bought a new sweater, and socks with his birthday gift voucher.
He would like to thank you all for your kind birthday wishes, which he very much appreciated. Very glad we went out yesterday and not today.
