Freezing

It has been officially cold all day.  (the definition of 'officially cold' in our household is that if you breath out heavily and see your breath as a cloud then it is officially cold!)  The walk at sunset this afternoon (can you call 3.40 evening?) was bitterly cold.. frost on the ground and a biting cold wind...brr.. still thawing out.  This photo makes it look warm though l think... such gorgeous colours.  I am glad to be indoors again and must make a start at sorting out all the old artwork that is still scattered around so that the house is ready to receive a tree and guests for the festivities.  Must Press On as my primary school teacher would say... (haven't heard that phrase for years and suddenly heard it on the news recently )
