The holly and the ivy

Very mild today (though breezy) so went into the garden for a bit. The ivy under the camellia was taking over so I hauled out large amounts and also cut back the holly a bit, now the other plants have some room to grow.
Took some of the ladies' running group on a run in the park in the dark, with headtorches, we had a very enjoyable time and it wasn't too muddy.
