The war of the roses......

.....I think a magical mystery beastie definitely won the day on this particular leaf battleground ;-)

Bitterly cold this morning, sunny skies notwithstanding, I've turned the heating up a notch........

EDIT :: And on the subject of 'heating', I've just had a couple of cold-callers at the door trying to persuade me to change energy providers.....I countered with 'well hopefully Labour will win the election and utilities will be nationalised again'......it was a short conversation ;-)
