Back to normal

The post-Christmas denuding session is over, with the boxes of ephemera being finally stashed under the stairs again.
It's been an early/late start to the day, having not gone to bed until 6am, and got up at midday.
(Yes, I spent the night in Chillingham Castle again - that's a whole other tale in itself).
There's very little light around there at night, but I should have made the attempt...
So, here's a photo of the oldest part of my house (1752, apparently), and an extra of the snowdrops, which are valiantly fighting their way through, in a shaded north-facing border.
