Winter Rose

I know I posted this rose a week ago, as a bud, but is slowly opening despite the vagaries of the weather. I have also included a hellebore  in flower, couldn't photo from the front as I hadn't got water proof shoes or a kneeler to do it justice. There is also a spiders necklace, which I spotted on the way back from S'bury's yesterday. And the chocolate reindeer? Well he came out of a cracker from a well known chocolate hotel ;-))

Thank you for your good wishes these last few days, and I am pleased to report I am feeling much better, after being knocked for 6 by this bug. :-D
