Bums in the sun

A rare bright spell this morning. There was a huge rainbow on my way to town this morning. It feels much colder today, in the northerly wind.

An afternoon preparing annual accounts for a charity that I support - it's always a relief when this is out of the way for another year.

The hen on the right has been moulting for about a month, and her feathers are scattered around the garden. There always seems to be one hen that moults (is that the correct word for feathers?!) in December, it used to be the white one, but they seem to cope with it.
