Jack’s back!

Jack Frost, that is, and there are some beautiful patterns of ice crystals around the garden and on the outside of the sun room windows. I thought that I had discovered diamonds on my afternoon walk when I saw tiny balls of clear ice scattered along the path. I worked out that they must have been water droplets that had frozen on the tree branches and had been knocked off, perhaps by a passing deer.
I have just come in from a last wander around the garden with Bertie before bed and the stars are magnificent. Jupiter is still shining very brightly and Orion stands out so clearly amongst less bright stars and constellations.
