First flower...

...this season.

Ventured no further than the 'yard today, for a quick snap of the Christmas rose. Spent a very pleasant 'evening' at Ian and Liz's yesterday - there were six of us, so busy putting the world to rights that no-one looked at a watch until it was gone 1.00am! So it was a later-than-intended start this morning.

It's 'W Day' on Friday when, if all goes to plan, the woodburner will be installed in the living room. So, not before time, MrM spent the day tiling the fire surround, while I acted as his gofer. In between times, I even managed to cut out the pieces of fabric for the bathroom curtains.
