Five weeks

From this to this!

The scent may be a bit cloying but the burst of colour in mid-Winter is just what we need.

A busy day.  Collected Ruth after a late breakfast.  She, Jamie and I the had a day of cooking, eating, shopping, chatting and sorting that also involved a couple of loads of laundry and was topped off with a solo supermarket shop after dropping Ruth home this evening.  Lots of New Year bargains as the shops clear out old stock ..... well they're bargains if you actually need them.  Not sure about the giant chocolate gateaux ... Blipmeet anyone?  :-)
