Blossom and bare branches

A day of biting cold. But glimpses of sunshine really made up for that.
Val and I went for a quick walk from her house to the Botanical Gardens and back.  In the image, there's also a squirrel to spot, though he/she is not obvious; I only spotted it when editing the photo.
I've been following the reports about the Post Office scandal in the UK: the saga of lies and deceptions that left hundreds of local postmasters/mistresses convicted of fraud, when the real culprits were dishonest senior managers and a faulty IT system. The combination of a hard-hitting ITV documentary and public outrage has finally caused politicians to say that they will take action to put right the injustices .... this comes after years of reports and campaigns, ignored by those in power.  It's a story full of tragedy. But I'm encouraged to see that in these times apparently dominated by social media, an old-school piece of drama-documentary can still contribute to change.
