There you go!
In Bristol, they seem to have been on a pollarding rampage in the last year.

These reminded me of knuckles - there's something quite aggressive about them.
The weather was gorgeous today.
Son #2 and I went to a 1st Birthday party - crisps, jelly, cake and Rocky Road. What more could you wish for? Oh yes, a bit of Prosecco for the adults made things run smoothly.
Yesterdays' flame colour copper chloride!
