spring on a frosty day

My kitchen window cill. Very cheering - but the shame! how much those windows need cleaning!
I did not stay in and clean the windows, but went to Oxford where I spent an enjoyable time playing scrabble with my husband in a restaurant with incredibly slow service; followed by taking things back (described by a former colleague as "shopping bulimia) and buying two bargains in the East sale. Neither currently wearable due to the afroementioned frost in one case and the Christmassy nature of the other (dark green velvet).
