Touch of

Frost.
A hard frost actually this morning with a few slippy patches on the pavement when we walked up to church.
I decided to take a couple of snaps of the top garden at the back before the sun came round and melted it all.
You can see the bright yellow Hamamelis flowers in the bed at the centre ( and the gap where the red one should be).
The small bush next to my lovely Hare is a Magnolia Stellata. It looks to be full of buds. It has done much better since the evergreen tree, the stump of which is being sat on by the Hare, was cut down a few years ago.
So another lovely blue sky day, cold but so much nicer than the warm rain.
