‘A cold coming we had of it....’

Bleak twelfth night.  The tree came down earlier in the week as we had some furniture designated for the space but I dutifully took down the somewhat minimal other decorations and Christmas cards. Today Vikram shuttled back and forward to the cottage bringing back the bits and bobs and I hit the zoom on a big new project. On our morning walk I took consolation from the embryonic catkins.
