Skimmia Japonica

This is more or less the only plant in the garden with any colour at the moment. Freezing cold and windy out today but had to pop into the garden to have a word with Bobby ( mad or what! ).

My brother Colin phoned this afternoon - I had sent him an e mail to tell him about Bobby. He doesn't phone very often but when he does he talks for ages ( and ages ). He has bought himself a hammock to sleep in instead of a bed. How random. Can't wait see it.
