There isn't much going on in the garden right now although the chickens have been presented with a new waterproof roof (marine plywood clad in roof felt), the compost has been forked well to try to locate the vermin that seems to have nested in it, the Autumn fruiting raspberries have been cut back to 10 inches and we've tried our best not to walk on the sodden lawn. Our Christmas gift from Nature this year wasn't 20 cms of snow and minus 13. 5 degrees centigrade as we had twelve months ago. This time there was over 20 degrees difference to last year and a mild and sunny day. was enjoyed by us on our Christmas day walk. A great swarm of plovers covered the sky, alternating in colour when they showed their underbellies - one moment dark, the next cream - like a giant tick in the sky.
