The church children made drawings to cheer us all up, and they are being displayed outside the church building.  I walked over this morning to see them.  

On my way home I spotted this tree in bud, I think it is the apple tree that I blipped last summer.

Had a visit and a chat on the deck with Croftcrafts this afternoon.  It was a pity that the sun which had been out in the morning for our coffee, did not appear, but it was not too cold.
