Tiny Cones

I don't know what tree these cones belong to but I found them on the lawn and although there are conifers around there's nothing I can tie them into, if anyone knows exactly what they are I'd be very grateful.

I've had another day indoors and I think I'm getting what my eldest would call cabin fever - the good thing is I think staying warm has helped and my cold is much better today.  I'm hoping there'll be the same improvement tomorrow as I have to get moving and get things done.  

I was due to go to a long exposure workshop on Saturday on the Wirral coast, but knowing the weather is expected to be bad I've cancelled, or more to the point my editor in chief advised me to cancel - the sensible thing to do I suppose.

Thank you Wwombat for hosting the TT challenge and many thanks for visiting my journal.
