The tree-feller fella came today and thinned out the copse, 'the copse', that's a joke really - we had five young plum trees and now we've got two. I've only seen them in the dark but there is quite a difference. There will be so much more light for the bulbs and a better light and view of the climbing rose. I can't wait for spring, I might even plant some more bulbs down there.
Nothing else doin', well except to say the heather is looking good, as are the cyclamen and the cotoneaster....

Not much happening in the garden except to say SOME OF THE SPRING BULBS ARE COMING UP. They're in a pot near the house. They shouldn't be popping up now, there's a real chance of them beind killed off if there's a frost. I think its because of the sheltered position and mild wet weather we've had (apart from that cold snap a few weeks ago). Well, we'll see. I'll keep an eye on things and report back.
I haven't been out and raked the leaves as its very wet and so the lawn is covered....
