All The Leaves Are Brown

Well, what a lovely day? Started with a trip to the post office, then a spot of community bulb planting - bluebells, snowdrops and wood anemones. Followed by a couple of hours dogging. I thought my knee might not be up to it as I smashed it on a tow-bar in a car park yesterday, but it seems to have done it the world of good.

I mult-tasked my new snow shovel today, using it to collect leaves on the driveway. If it never sees any snow in anger, it will be worth the £4 it cost me just for today.

Strictly Come Dancing, X-factor (not so sure about that anymore), mushroom stroganoff and off tae bed. Perfect.
