Spotted walking back.....

....to the car this morning.  I think it's an early Vinca.  I thought it looked brave amongst all those other leaves!!  We had no hot water this morning but our trusty heating chap was nearly (luckily) and called in this afternoon and found the problem.  That's a relief.  In the extras are some melting moments that R made this afternoon.  He's adding biscuits to his repertoire.
