Sparkling

Frost covered the trees early this morning, then the sun came up and melted it. For a few minutes the garden sparkled. Very cold today, but lots of sunshine. What a difference that light makes. 

Village Book Group tonight. I had forgotten, so hastily read the book - Ragnarok by A S Byatt. Luckily it is a short book. And a strange one - ancient Norse myths and a little girl's reading of them during wartime. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I am pleased about one thing - it's the first A S Byatt I have managed to read, she's far too learned for me.
