Tree

Pretty miserable and dull day but perhaps not quite as cold. With luck the coalman should appear but he's later than usual - perhaps everyone getting stocked up for the Christmas. I'm not much of a tipper generally speaking but I give a Christmas "box" to the coalie and the postie - strikes me the latter are out in all weathers and give a service many people rely on.
The picture is of the beech tree just outside with bare branches against the sky. Its taken from more or less the same place that I shot the same tree a couple of months ago.
