O rose, thou art sick

Or rather it’s frosted to the core. Poor Gabriel Oak! Good thing it’s stout-hearted and will be back next year. Another cold, wet and gloomy day in Cambridgeshire, although a few degrees milder than the previous few days. I’m watching the smart meter rack up, it’s alarming.
I hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend. Thank you for recent stars, hearts and kind comments. As always, they’re much appreciated.
