Bright Buds!

A small and understated beauty spotted on a chilly evening stroll. It brings a sprinkle of brightness on a dark night. :-)

As anticipated we're going into Tier Three restrictions after the national lockdown comes to an end. It means very little alters from how things are now other than non essential shops and hairdressers reopening. We will continue to be unable to mix households indoors or in gardens so walking talking meet ups continue!

It's the pubs, bars, restaurants and cafés I feel for as they'll remain closed except for take away or delivery. I fear so many will be unable to reopen at all when restrictions are finally eased due to such huge financial blows they've suffered relentlessly this year. You've also got to feel for theatres, cinemas and museums which will also stay closed...plus hotels, guest houses etc...

Goodness me! Keep smiling folks, it's all there is for it!!
