Tiny Tumbleweed

This is lichen, I think, growing on one of the branches of the apple tree. There's not much holding it there, it looks like it may blow away at any moment.

The bank's been in touch, and have said we'll get a loan or an overdraft - either way we'll get the money. So, I've gone ahead and ordered the heatpump, and they're putting it in tomorrow! That's great because at the moment, the fire's struggling to go, and I'm not feeling very warm, so it will be good to have some consistent warmth again.
