The monkey puzzle tree

I enjoy walking around the village arboretum which is in fact spread around the whole village, though concentrated in the park. There are a couple of hundred of different varieties but one of my favourites is the monkey puzzle tree. I have blipped it before but not in colour. I like its shape and spikiness. We had a sprinkling of snow first thing. It soon melted but I was not unhappy to stay mostly indoors and catch up with some work.
