All good intentions

As every year in the past, the Christmas tree is put out in the garden with good intentions of re-cycling or chopping up for firewood. And then the spring comes and it looks dead enough to put out for the binmen.

Will try to be good this year - but in the meantime it looks pretty in the snow and the birds will perch on it to eat the food we put out.

Minus 16 walking the dogs this morning! Felt warmer though. Must be getting used to it.
