Christmas cheer

You may not recognise the triffid in its winter garb. It was pruned specially so that it could be adorned with lights. Has the handy side effect of admitting extra daylight into our bedroom.

It's a miserable evening, 6C and raining. Both of us have suddenly come down with a cold, and we're off on an adventure tomorrow, so it's huddling round the fire and an early night.
