Hellebore

The various hellebores are beginning to flower, this is the newest of mt collection, a couple of years old.
Today was a complete contrast to yesterday and the sun shone all day, though the wind was bitter.
I was able to get a load of towels dry and now they're lovely and soft and fresh-smelling.
Fairly normal Monday, except I had to call on Mr Rat to come and sort the church heating which had gone off.
Good run this evening and the wind had dies down a bit.
