And frosty Tuesday!

Another white world this morning (frost, not snow) which didn't seem to last quite as long, but the ground was very hard! Hard enough to explore a muddy lane or two - it is so handy when the mud is frozen and can't get into a dog's feet!
The sun shone, the garden was full of squirrels and birds busy feeding, and belatedly I wrapped up the outside taps in bubble wrap and plastic to stop them freezing!! 
This little tree surprised me with its delicate, pretty berries. Bulbs are coming up, and a few primroses and violas are out, defiantly showing their faces to the end of December!
