Dahlia

What a cold morning. I was up early as I had the alarm man coming. I have a new keypad and board as the old one could not be serviced as it was locked. It is very straight forward and I have an app on my phone to set it etc. After he had gone I went in the garden to do some chopping and fill up the green bin. I did it again I cut through the string of lights again! This dahlia has at last come out I actually thought I had lost it this year as it has been late growing and blooming.
I had a lovely walk down the canal, so many fishermen there as they were having a tournament. 
After such a cold start a really beautiful sunny day.
