Putting on a show

We walked down for the bread this morning and it was jolly chilly.  The sun did try to peek through a couple of times but without much success.

We've trimmed back the lovely acer that sits in the border close to the kitchen window because it was getting a bit tall and because we have overpowering trees around us, we'd like to keep it small.

JJ has also had a trim.  I hate doing it, but he won't go back to the barber.

I am struggling to keep awake having had four bad nights on the trot.  No idea why and some nights I sleep right through.
